Which kinds of financing do San Antonio owners use?
The city's employer total stands at 30,066, and restaurants account for the biggest share at 2,424. Here is how the five products divide the job:
- Same-day advance: cash the same day you sign, for when a vendor offers closeout stock at a deep discount at one of San Antonio's 560 clothing and accessories stores.
- Second advance: more capital on top of an advance you already have, for a project like another service truck or technician.
- MCA consolidation: merges open advances into one debit, so more of each day's sales stays in the account.
- Revenue-based financing: repaid as a cut of sales, so a slow month means a smaller payment for beauty and nail salons affected by prom, wedding and holiday bookings.
- Line of credit: cash on standby; pay it down when bills clear and draw again when a medical practice pays staff every two weeks while insurance claims take weeks to pay out.
We shop all five for San Antonio business owners at no charge.
