Complete Guide to Business Financing: MCA vs DSCR Loans

When exploring business financing options, understanding the differences between Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans is crucial for making informed decisions. At Zeus Commercial Capital, we specialize in both types of financing to serve diverse business needs across multiple sectors.

Understanding Merchant Cash Advances

A merchant cash advance provides immediate working capital based on your business's future credit card sales or revenue. Unlike traditional loans, MCAs offer:

  • Fast approval within 24-48 hours
  • No collateral requirements
  • Flexible repayment tied to daily revenue
  • Bad credit acceptance - approval based on revenue, not credit score

MCAs are ideal for businesses that need quick access to capital for inventory, equipment, marketing campaigns, or managing cash flow gaps. The repayment structure automatically adjusts with your sales volume, making it easier to manage during slower periods.

What Are DSCR Loans?

DSCR loans are specialized financing products primarily used for investment properties and real estate ventures. The Debt Service Coverage Ratio measures a property's ability to generate enough income to cover its debt obligations.

For detailed DSCR loan calculations and to determine if you qualify, visit our specialized tool at DSCRcalc.net, where you can instantly calculate your property's DSCR ratio and explore financing options.

Key features of DSCR loans include:

  • Property income-based approval rather than personal income
  • Longer repayment terms (typically 15-30 years)
  • Lower interest rates compared to short-term financing
  • Ideal for real estate investors and property portfolios

Which Financing Option Is Right for You?

Choose an MCA if you:

  • Need capital quickly (within 24-48 hours)
  • Have consistent credit card sales or daily revenue
  • Want flexible repayment that adjusts with your sales
  • Have bad credit or limited credit history
  • Need funding for operational expenses, inventory, or marketing

Choose a DSCR Loan if you:

  • Are purchasing or refinancing investment property
  • Have rental income or property cash flow
  • Want long-term, fixed-rate financing
  • Are building a real estate investment portfolio
  • Need larger loan amounts ($75,000+)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I qualify for both MCA and DSCR financing?

Yes! Many of our clients use MCAs for operational business needs while simultaneously securing DSCR loans for real estate investments. These financing products serve different purposes and can complement each other in your overall business strategy.

How quickly can I get funded?

MCAs can be funded in as little as 24-48 hours after approval. DSCR loans typically take 2-4 weeks due to property appraisal and underwriting requirements.

What credit score do I need?

For MCAs, we focus on your revenue rather than credit score - even bad credit is acceptable. DSCR loans typically require a minimum credit score of 620-640, though exceptions can be made for strong properties with excellent cash flow.
