Cash advance
A merchant cash advance delivers working capital by purchasing a slice of your future receivables. Instead of fixed monthly payments, the advance provider withdraws a small percentage of each day's card transactions until the agreed amount is repaid. This structure aligns repayment with your actual sales volume, which matters when visitor traffic along Coleman Boulevard ebbs and flows with the season or when a new competitor opens near Patriots Point.
Hazelcrest Business Capital serves as your broker, comparing offers from multiple providers so you see terms side by side. We gather your bank statements and sales records, then present options that match your transaction patterns. Because we broker rather than lend, our role is to simplify documentation and connect you with the right funding source.
Businesses processing significant card volume often choose a merchant cash advance when they need capital quickly and lack collateral for a traditional loan. A café near Shem Creek or a boutique in the Old Village might use the funds to refresh outdoor seating, cover payroll during a slow week, or stock inventory before a busy weekend market.
The trade-off is clear: speed and flexible daily remittance versus higher total cost. If your sales dip, the daily holdback shrinks automatically. If you run a brisk weekend, repayment accelerates. Hazelcrest walks you through both paths so you choose the one that fits your cash-flow reality.
How it works
We collect recent processing statements and bank records, then submit your profile to our network. Providers respond with offers detailing the advance amount, holdback percentage, and total payback. We explain each term in plain language at our Charleston office or over the phone, ensuring you understand exactly what portion of every card swipe will be remitted.
