How to Choose

Not sure whether to lease or do an EFA? Here is the simple breakdown:

  • Lease: Best if you want lower payments, plan to upgrade equipment, or want to keep it off the balance sheet. Talk to your CPA about operating vs. capital lease treatment.
  • EFA: Best if you want to own the equipment, want Section 179 tax deduction, or plan to keep it long-term.
  • Sale-Leaseback: Best if you already own equipment and need cash now without taking on traditional bank debt.

Hard Money & Bridge Loans

HARD MONEY

Asset-backed financing for real estate investors and businesses that cannot wait for traditional bank timelines. Underwriting is based primarily on the asset value — not just your credit score or tax returns. Close in days, not months.

  • You have credit challenges but strong equity in the deal
  • You are flipping a property and need 6–12 month financing
  • You need a bridge loan while permanent financing is arranged

Merchant Cash Advance

MCA

A Merchant Cash Advance is not a loan — it is a purchase of your future credit card and debit card sales at a discount. You receive a lump sum upfront and repay via a fixed percentage of your daily card revenue. No fixed monthly payment. Repayments slow when your sales slow.

$5K–$500K
Advance Range
1.10–1.50
Factor Rate
24–48 hrs
To Approval
  • Repayment is a fixed daily percentage of card sales — not a fixed payment
  • Slow sales = slower repayment; strong sales = faster payoff
  • No collateral required — approval based on card revenue history
  • Approval typically in 24–48 hours; funding in 1–3 business days
  • Credit score matters less than consistent card processing volume
  • Best for restaurants, retail, salons, and other high-card-volume businesses
  • Factor rates from 1.10 to 1.50 — total cost = advance × factor rate
  • Terms typically 3–18 months based on sales velocity

MCA Example

You receive a $50,000 advance at a factor rate of 1.30. Total to repay = $65,000 ($50,000 × 1.30). If the holdback rate (percentage of daily sales withheld) is 12%, and you average $3,000/day in card sales, your daily repayment is $360. At that pace the advance pays off in approximately 180 days. If sales slow, payoff takes longer. If sales spike, payoff comes faster.

Is MCA Right for Your Business?

MCA is fast and flexible but typically more expensive than term loans or SBA loans. It is best suited when:

  • You need capital in 24–72 hours and cannot wait for a traditional loan
  • Your business has strong card revenue but credit challenges
  • You are a startup or younger business that doesn't qualify for SBA
  • You need a bridge while longer-term financing is arranged
  • Seasonal cash flow spike requires quick capital

Gulfco note: We will always show you the lowest-cost product you qualify for first. If SBA or a term loan works for your situation, we tell you. We do not push MCA when a better option exists.

Business Line of Credit

LINE OF CREDIT

Revolving access to capital on demand — draw what you need, repay it, draw again. You pay interest only on what you have outstanding. Ideal for businesses with seasonal cash flow, ongoing inventory needs, or unpredictable operating expenses.

Draw & Repay
Pay Only
On What You Use
Standing
Credit Facility
  • Draw funds when needed — no need to reapply for each draw
  • Interest accrues only on outstanding balance
  • Revolving: repay principal to restore available credit
  • Ideal for seasonal businesses, contractors, and distributors
  • Works for inventory financing, payroll bridging, and operating gaps
  • Secured and unsecured options available depending on credit profile
Apply for Line of Credit →

Line of Credit vs. Term Loan

  • Line of Credit: Use it when you need it, repay it, use it again. Best for ongoing, unpredictable, or seasonal cash needs. Interest only on outstanding balance.
  • Term Loan: One-time lump sum repaid over a fixed period. Best for specific one-time needs — equipment, renovation, acquisition. Fixed payments.
  • Many businesses benefit from having both: a term loan for capital projects and a line of credit for operating flexibility.
