FAQ

A working capital loan is a great option for ecommerce businesses who need short-term financing to bridge the gap between outgoing expenses and incoming revenue. These loans are especially useful when gearing up for a busy season (like the holidays) and the funds can help cover expenses such as payroll, rent, inventory purchases, and other short-term liabilities that you might otherwise have trouble covering when dealing with cash flow fluctuations.

The best way to find out if you’re eligible for a working capital loan is by going through our quick eligibility questionnaire, but here are a couple requirements:
  1. You need to be an ecommerce brand incorporated in the United States. At this time, we are unable to offer working capital loans to businesses operating in California.
  2. You need to be generating at least $250k of annual sales with at least 6 months of trading history.

The first step is to go through our short eligibility questionnaire. If you’re eligible, you’ll be asked to connect your company’s banking, commerce, and accounting platforms to share additional information with our underwriters as they review your application. There are no forms to fill out — just connect your accounts and we’ll take it from there.

Filling out the application takes about 10 minutes and you’ll typically hear back from our underwriting team in about 2-3 business days. From there, the terms and agreement review process is unique to each applicant, but a simple process can be as fast as a few days. Once your agreement is signed, you will have access to your loan dashboard in your Mercury account within 1-2 business days. From there, you will be able to draw your loan funds immediately. Funds often arrive instantly in your account once drawn, but may take up to 48 hours. you can draw funds immediately.

Yes. The funds from your Mercury Working Capital loan will be deposited into your business account with Mercury.
If you’re not a Mercury customer already, you’ll be prompted to set up Mercury login credentials to check your eligibility for Mercury Working Capital. If you’re approved for a working capital loan, you’ll then need to set up a business account through Mercury before funds are deposited. However, you don’t need to wait until that point to simplify your business finances — feel free to apply for an account at any time here.

There’s a simple, flat fee that’s determined upfront as part of the underwriting process and is a percentage of your total advance amount. That fee is then spread out evenly across all your weekly payments so you don’t have to pay it all at once.

No, we don't require a personal guarantee to secure a Mercury Working Capital loan.
