Merchant Cash Advance Article In The Green Sheet

Yes another article regarding selling a merchant cash advance appeared in the recent issue of The Green Sheet. Mike Evans, a Sales Manager from 2nd Source Funding in New York, wrote an article entitled Use rapport to score with cash advance. (Editor's note: Second Source Funding is a broker / sales agent for several merchant cash advance companies. I believe they also offer merchant fundings / business cash advances under the name Tribul Cash and BPS (Business Payment Systems) also based out of New York City.)

Mike points out several things that I've mentioned previously back in September, namely how former mortgage brokers are getting into the merchant cash advance business (see my previous blog entry - Invasion of the Subprime Mortgage Brokers).

I agree with what Michael is saying for the most part about how merchants are being inundated with merchant cash advance offers. The one interesting item he indicated is the average merchant cash advance factor rate is 1.38. My personal opinion, any merchant that is paying 1.38 for a cash advance can find the money less expensive for around 1.35 (which can add up to signficant savings to the merchant as the advance gets larger).
