Business Smart Credit Card

How it works

A portion of your daily settlement is split between your Credit Kick Start Business account and your regular bank account.  Funds deposited to the Credit Kick-Start account are posted as a credit balance and are available for immediate use.

  • Accept Payments the same as always

  • No disruption to your daily operations

  • Requires no personal guarantee

  • Card issued in your business name

  • Add a new line of credit to an existing line of credit. 

Cash Advance For Processing

How it works
  1. We determine your maximum cash advance by looking at the average amount of card sales you’ve had in the last 6 months, and the strength of your business.
  2. Once you’ve received your cash advance, we set up automatic deductions from your daily card sales. Payments are a fixed percentage of your daily processing volume. Payments rise and fall at the same rate as your processing volume.
  3. With a reasonable credit history and a good track record of card sales, you have a good chance of qualifying for this simple, easy source of working capital – even if you’ve been turned down by your bank or leasing company.

FAQ

Is this a loan?  No. This product is similar to accounts receivable factoring. Your future credit card sales is purchased for immediate cash in your account.

I have problems with my credit. Can I still get my cash? This product relies on real business performance rather than credit to evaluate applicants. This pragmatic approach allows any stable business to qualify for an advance.

Is this a one time only program?  No.  We are pleased to provide renewal transactions with our merchants.  Many merchants qualify for additional funding within 60 – 90 days.
