Is an MCA Right for Your Texas Business?
An MCA is the right choice for a Texas business when:
- You need capital in under 1 week and can't wait for bank processing
- You don't have real estate or equipment to pledge as collateral
- Your personal or business credit score prevents bank approval
- You have a specific short-term capital need with a clear ROI (equipment, inventory, job mobilization)
- Your revenue is strong but irregular, making a fixed monthly bank payment risky
An MCA is NOT the right choice when:
- You're using it to cover ongoing operating losses without a plan to increase revenue
- You already have 2+ active MCA positions (stacking danger)
- You qualify for a Texas bank loan or SBA loan and the wait time is acceptable
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I get a merchant cash advance in Texas?
- Apply online at T.A.G. in under 10 minutes. Submit 6 consecutive months of Texas business bank statements. Receive an offer, with review timing set by the funding provider. Sign the agreement. Funds arrive in your Texas bank account. Requirements: 500+ personal FICO, $4,000 to $6,000+/month in revenue, 6+ months in business, active business bank account, no open bankruptcy.
- Are merchant cash advances legal in Texas?
- Yes: MCAs are legal in Texas. Texas HB 700 requires finance-charge and total-repayment disclosure, effective September 2025, for financing under $1,000,000. MCAs are classified as purchase agreements for future receivables (not loans) and are therefore not subject to Texas usury laws, but are still subject to HB 700 disclosure. MCA providers must comply with federal commercial regulations and general Texas contract law.
- What credit score do I need for a merchant cash advance in Texas?
- T.A.G. approves Texas businesses with a minimum 500 personal FICO. Your credit score affects your factor rate: higher score = lower rate. But the primary approval criterion is monthly revenue (minimum $4,000 to $6,000+/month consistent deposits). Texas businesses with 500 to 580 FICO still qualify for MCA funding, typically at factor rates of 1.35 to 1.50.
