How is a same-day merchant cash advance structured?
The funder buys a slice of future bank deposits: in the example below, $63,000 now in exchange for $85,050 collected over 6 months.
What will a funder ask for?
The statements do most of the work: how much comes in every month, how low the balance runs, and whether other funders already take a daily debit.
What happens after you sign?
A complete file signed before the afternoon cutoff is wired that business day. For a restaurant, that means funding once the file is complete, usually the same business day, with the first $675 debit the following business day.

Why do Berkeley restaurants use a same-day advance?
A restaurant lives on card sales that settle every day. If the walk-in compressor dies on a Friday, that income alone can't cover the bill in time. Berkeley counts 296 of them, 8.3% of local employers.
How do local residential remodelers use a same-day advance?
When a signed job needs materials ordered before it can start, waiting costs a remodeling company sales. Same-day money ends the wait. Census counts 64 in Berkeley; that's 5.2 per 10,000 people.
What does a same-day advance do for clothing and accessories stores here?
The urgent case for a clothing store: a vendor quotes closeout stock at a deep discount. Funding that lands today means it doesn't have to wait. Berkeley has 40 of them, 3.3 per 10,000 residents (U.S.: 3.5).
How do the numbers work out for a restaurant?
Picture a restaurant with $105,000 in monthly deposits taking $63,000. At a factor rate of 1.35 the payback is $85,050; the price of the money is the $22,050 difference. Collected over 6 months, the daily debit comes to $675, or 14% of what lands in the account on an average day.
| Sample figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly deposits (example) | $105,000 |
| Advance | $63,000 |
| Factor rate | 1.35 |
| Total payback | $85,050 |
| Cost of the advance | $22,050 |
| Term | 6 months |
| Daily debit | $675 |
| Share of an average day's deposits | 14% |
What sets the cost?
Two numbers matter: the factor rate, which fixes the total cost, and the term, which fixes the daily debit. Steady deposits and a clean balance history move both in your favor. The MCA payment calculator lets you test other amounts.

Before fast business funding, what do Berkeley owners check?
Does a same-day MCA require collateral?
No. The advance is a purchase of future deposits, so funders look at the account history rather than property.
Does the type of business change a same-day MCA offer?
Less than deposits do. A restaurant with $105,000 in monthly deposits is judged on that history, not on the trade name.
Are restaurants in Berkeley eligible for a same-day merchant cash advance?
Many are, because they run on daily card batches from the dining room. Funders still decide each file on deposits and time in business.
