Cash advance
A merchant cash advance is not a traditional loan. Instead, a funding company buys a percentage of your future card sales at a discount, then collects daily or weekly as customers pay by card. Because repayment flexes with your revenue, an MCA can suit seasonal businesses or those with variable income. Pondview Financial acts as your broker, matching Burbank businesses with funders who specialize in small business merchant cash advance programs and simplifying the documentation every step of the way.
Typical uses include covering payroll gaps, restocking inventory before a busy season, or handling an urgent repair. A café on Magnolia Boulevard might use a business cash advance to replace a broken espresso machine before the weekend rush, while a boutique in downtown Burbank could fund new spring inventory without waiting weeks for bank approval.
Funders look for businesses that process a minimum monthly volume in credit and debit cards, usually around three to six months of processing history. You'll need recent merchant statements showing those transactions, a few months of business bank statements, and your business license. Pondview Financial reviews your documentation first, so you submit clean, complete files to funders and avoid the back-and-forth that slows approvals. Because we're a broker, we can shop your scenario to multiple MCA providers rather than locking you into one source.
Restaurants along Riverside Drive, salons in Valley Village, and retail shops near the Burbank Town Center often qualify because card sales make up the bulk of their revenue. Even if your personal credit has blemishes, funders focus more on daily card volume than FICO scores.
How it works
Call (818) 306-9866 or visit our office at 3400 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505 to start. We'll ask for your last three to four months of merchant processing statements and recent bank statements. Our team organizes those documents, highlights your strengths, and submits to funders who compete for your business. You'll see offers within days, and funding can arrive in as little as 48 hours once you choose a provider.
We also broker working capital loans, equipment financing, and business lines of credit if a merchant advance isn't the best fit. Explore all our Burbank commercial financing programs or check our full service areas across the San Fernando Valley.
