A merchant cash advance is a loan made to a small business in exchange for a fixed percentage of that business's future credit card sales. The advance is typically repaid through automatic deductions from the businesses credit card sales, making it less of a burden on the business owner. Merchant cash advances are often used to finance short-term needs such as working capital, inventory, or to cover seasonal fluctuations in sales.

There are a few things to keep in mind when considering a merchant cash advance. First, the interest rates on merchant cash advances tend to be higher than traditional loans. Second, the repayment terms are usually shorter, so make sure you can repay the advance within the set timeframe. Finally, merchant cash advances are not always easy to obtain, so be prepared to provide some documentation about your business.

If you are a small business owner in need of short-term financing, a merchant cash advance may be a good option for you. Contact your local bank or credit union to see if they offer this type of loan, or check with a merchant cash advance provider.

Hey people…. If spam like this, from bottom feeders who clutter the site, like this one, bother you. Have fun, and revenge. Do a Google search on the company name and, “reviews.” Then add a 1 star review of your own, one that says something like:

*******
This company spams websites with poorly written “advertisements” that are unrelated to the site’s mission and clientele. They, obviously, don’t care about the people they annoy. For example, they spam a site like Writer’s Café an spot where writers post their work, with what’s listed as a story, but is, in reality, poorly written spam for this company. Is this really a company you want to deal with, or trust?
*******

Then, before you close the comment, paste in the address of the spam page, so the company will see the spam, and the name of the one dropping it, and know who to blame.

Even better…copy the address at the top of this screen, and send an email to the company being spammed for. Maybe something like:

*******
Someone is spamming for your company on the Writers’ site, WritersCafe.org. They’re doing it poorly, and it’s not a credit or a recommendation for, your company. You might want to look. One of their spams is here:
*******

Then, below that, paste in the address of this page. Maybe even send them a screenshot of the page, including one of this response. That should be a fun read for the company bigwigs.

I REALLY hate spam..really.
