Merchant cash advances (MCAs) are similar to revenue-based funding but often come from predatory lenders with factor rates that translate to triple-digit effective APRs. Bankable's revenue-based funding operates on transparent terms with reasonable factor rates. The mechanism is similar — repayment from daily revenue — but Bankable's terms are designed for sustainable business growth, not short-term extraction.
Bankable serves L-2 EAD business owners throughout the United States with revenue-based funding from $25,000 to $5,000,000. We do not require a green card, US citizenship, or permanent residency. We evaluate your business performance — your revenue consistency, growth trajectory, and operating history. The 2022 DHS rule confirming L-2 work authorization incident to status means you are fully authorized to own and operate your business. Bankable provides the capital to do it.
