Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about business loans, MCAs, and managing debt.

How do I calculate if a business loan is affordable?

A common rule is that your total monthly debt payments should not exceed 10-15% of your monthly gross revenue. Use our free calculator at bizflowlogic.com/calculators to check your specific numbers.

What is a good APR for a merchant cash advance?

MCAs typically carry effective APRs between 40% and 350%. A "good" rate depends on your cash flow, but below 80% effective APR is generally considered more manageable for short-term needs.

How much of my revenue should go toward debt payments?

Most financial advisors recommend keeping total debt service below 10-15% of gross monthly revenue to protect your cash flow.

What is the difference between an MCA and a traditional business loan?

A traditional loan has a fixed interest rate and repayment schedule. An MCA is an advance on future sales, repaid as a percentage of daily revenue — making it faster to get but significantly more expensive.

What percentage of daily sales is safe for an MCA holdback?

Generally, holdback rates above 15-20% of daily revenue can create cash flow stress. BizFlow Logic helps you see this cost before you commit.

Will this affect my credit score?
