Merchant Cash Advance Vs Bank Business Loan – Comparison Chart

United Kapital is revolutionising small business funding in the UK. Official figures show lending to business continues to be an issue. In the past small to medium sized businesses have relied heavily on their bank which may result in raised overdraft charges, refusal of new loans or worse still call in the existing one.

The power of the United Kapital merchant cash advance as an alternative to bank finance allows you to make an informed and educated decision between the two major finance options.

Below is a comparison chart that will highlight the differences between the two:
REASON MERCHANT CASH ADVANCE* BANK LOAN*

Repayment period We take a small percentage of your daily credit and debit card sales until we are repaid. There is no fixed end date. 60 months (5 years)
