Fast, Flexible Funding for Your Business

SAPI’s Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is not a loan—it’s a smarter way to access capital. Instead of fixed payments and high-interest debt, an MCA provides an advance on future card sales, offering flexible repayments. You pay more when business is booming and less when it’s not—no rigid terms, no hassle.


Why Choose MCA

  • Fast & Simple Funding

    Get approved in as little as 24 hours—no more waiting weeks for loan approvals.

  • Flexible Repayments

    Pay more when business is thriving, less when it’s quiet—repayments adjust with your daily sales.

  • Easy Qualification

    Approval is based on your business’s revenue, not its credit score, making it easier to access funds.

  • Hassle-Free Process

    Skip lengthy credit checks, complete minimal paperwork, and avoid the need for collateral.

How MCA Works

We provide your business with a lump sum of cash in exchange for a small percentage of your future card sales. Repayments are automatically deducted daily or weekly, based on your sales, until the advance is fully repaid.

Let’s say you need £20,000 to restock inventory:

  • Advance Amount: SAPI provides £20,000 upfront.

  • MCA Cost: A fixed fee of £6,000.

  • Total Repayment: £20,000 (advance) + £6,000 (cost) = £26,000.

  • Repayment Structure: A small percentage (e.g. 10%) of your daily card sales until the total amount is repaid.

Seamless Repayments

  • Payments are automatically deducted based on your daily revenue.

  • The rest of your sales go directly to your bank account.

  • No large lump-sum repayments—just smooth, automatic deductions.

✨ Note: MCA approvals happen within 24 hours, and funds are released as soon as you and your card provider complete the necessary steps.
