Avoiding Problems With Working Capital Business Cash Advances
In this article we have identified the ten major problems which should be avoided when obtaining working capital and business cash advances based on credit card processing. As noted below, it is not necessary to accept any of these business finance difficulties.
Credit card processing and small business loan strategies are closely connected in many ways. business owners should not overlook the substantial working capital benefits which will accrue to their business by effectively coordinating credit card factoring and processing. These benefits will increase measurably if a number of common business cash advance problems can be successfully avoided.
Even thriving small businesses frequently need more working capital than they can borrow from a bank. One of the most important commercial financing needs for any business is ensuring that short-term cash requirements are successfully met. This is frequently a difficult task.
The use of a viable business cash advance strategy has become an increasingly important business finance tool for many businesses faced with a potential short-term cash shortfall. However, as noted below there are a number of potential problems to be anticipated and avoided when businesses use credit card processing to seek working capital advances.
Most merchants have documented credit card processing activity and sales volume. This documentation of processing activity and sales volume is a financial asset, since up to $300,000 and more can typically be obtained via a business cash advance based on future sales volume.
Before employing this strategy for working capital business cash advances, businesses should realize that there are several recurring potential problems that they need to anticipate. Highlighted below are ten common credit card receivables problems to be avoided when business owners are considering this financing approach.
First, many lenders will attempt to charge closing costs. Business owners should realize that this is an unnecessary transaction cost for business cash advances when dealing with a truly reputable provider of working capital financing based on credit card factoring.
Second, many lenders for these services also charge up-front fees. This is also a transaction cost that can and should be avoided, and with the best programs there will not be any up-front fees.
Third, many programs for business cash advances have collateral requirements. For business owners seeking credit card financing, this is an unnecessary requirement and should be avoided.
Fourth, some lenders will require financial statements and tax returns for all business cash advances. Such additional documentation requirements should only be necessary for larger working capital advances.
Fifth, monthly fixed payments to repay merchant cash advances are imposed by some providers. The preferred approach is to avoid such fixed payment requirements.
Sixth, some providers impose a fixed term for repayment. This requirement to pay off the business cash advance over a fixed term should be avoided.
Seventh, many business finance programs require businesses to have at least two years of operating history to qualify for working capital business cash advances. While many business owners can meet such a requirement, a more practical standard for newer businesses is a minimum of one year in business.
Eighth, most providers of business cash advances currently require credit scores of 680 or higher. In today’s difficult economic climate, this can be a challenging requirement. It is feasible to obtain this kind of working capital financing with scores around 500.
Ninth, for merchants needing larger business cash advances, it will be disappointing to learn that many programs are limited to a maximum of $25,000 to $50,000. Providers that are better capitalized for this business finance strategy will be able to accommodate an advance of $300,000 and higher.
Tenth, many providers will require 12 to 24 months of documented credit card sales of $12,000 to $25,000 or more. A more practical possibility for business owners will involve a transaction history with six months of $5,000 or more.
It is not likely that all ten of the obstacles described above will be pertinent for all business owners. Business borrowers are likely to experience several of these problems if they are considering a business cash advance that uses credit card factoring and credit card processing.
Can all ten credit card finance obstacles discussed above be avoided? There are indeed viable credit card receivables programs which avoid all of the problems described. For any business owner considering this approach to working capital financing, it is probably worth repeating that it is not necessary to accept any of these problems in order to obtain business cash advances based on future sales.

How would you categorize Oscar Peterson?
I’ve heard Oscar Peterson described as a bebop pianist, but I don’t think that does his playing style justice. Sure, he’s lightning fast and grew up with the likes of Dizzy and Ella, but he also can SWING like nobodies business. The bebop stylings of other pianists like Bud Powell tend to play the notes more “straight”, focusing on speed and flatted fifths.
So is it fair to call Oscar Peterson a pianist in the bebop tradition? If not, what would you call him?
Your question is an excellent one, and you have at least two excellent answers by Pianojazz Man and St. Petersburg. Your analysis is also excellent. When I first started listening to Peterson years ago, I probably put him the “bebop” category because of the time period and the speed of his playing. Over the years of listening (and trying to imitate) I have put him in a category of his own. I like other pianists for other reasons, but Peterson is Petersonian! While taking nothing away from Tatum and his influence, Oscar Peterson is the greatest “linear” expressionist on the instrument, and Bill Evans perhaps is the greatest expressionist harmonically. Dave Brubeck and McCoy Tyner are perhaps the greatest at the two together. EST (The Esbjorn Svensson Trio) is perhaps the most inventive expressionist currently.
