Merchant Cash Advance for Gyms & Fitness
Your membership billing processes $65,000 monthly through card payments. MCA converts that processing volume into immediate capital with payments that flex based on your actual deposits. Busy January pays more. Slow August pays less.

How MCA Works for Fitness Businesses
Merchant cash advance provides capital based on your card processing volume with repayment that automatically adjusts based on daily deposits. Perfect fit for gyms with membership billing through card payments.
Membership Billing Advantage
Recurring membership charges through credit/debit cards create predictable processing volume. This pattern strongly supports MCA approval and favorable terms.
Seasonal Auto-Adjust
January processes more = higher payments when cash is strong. August processes less = lower payments during slowdown. Natural alignment with gym seasonality.
Speed Advantage
MCA is one of the fastest funding options. Equipment emergencies, marketing opportunities, and competitive responses can be funded in 24-48 hours.
Qualification Basis
MCA evaluates card processing volume primarily. Strong membership billing can qualify gyms that might struggle with traditional bank requirements.
Why Gyms Choose Flexible Funding
Fixed payments do not match fitness seasonality. MCA provides natural alignment with membership patterns.
Seasonal Revenue Swings
January is peak. Summer sees drops. Fixed payments do not match this natural cycle of fitness business revenue.
Banks Do Not Understand Gyms
Traditional lenders see membership businesses as risky. They do not understand fitness economics or recurring billing value.
Quick Capital Needs
Equipment breaks. Marketing opportunity arises. Competitor opens nearby. You need capital fast, not in 3-6 weeks.
Fixed Payment Pressure
Fixed monthly payments during slow August feel crushing. Need payments that adjust to actual revenue.
Credit Challenges
Owner credit is not perfect. Banks decline. Need financing that values business performance over personal credit.
Emergency Response
HVAC fails in summer. Cardio floor needs urgent repair. Cannot wait weeks for bank approval.

The Challenge
Peak Performance needed $35,000 for HVAC repair and marketing to compete with a new gym opening nearby. Bank said 4-6 weeks. The competitor was opening in 3 weeks.
