KINGWOOD, Texas, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Merchant Advisors, (Pink Sheets: IMAI), is proud to announce that it has completed its acquisition of FlashCashNow.com a leading Internet payday loan / cash advance provider and lead generation provider.

About The Payday Loan Cash Advance Industry

The payday loan and cash advance business is a worldwide multi billion dollar business, and the internet component offers even greater rewards than the payday loan brick-n-mortar model.

Typically, payday loan consumers are paying $10 to $35 per $100 borrowed for a term averaging 8 days. These cash advance fees are equivalent to 480% to 1200% APR's (Annual Percentage Rate).

The demand for payday loan products is increasing worldwide. Small loans ranging from a few hundred dollars to $1500 or more are in huge demand by cash strapped consumers. The demand for these so-called "micro-loans" is so profound that Muhammad Yunus who founded the Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for leveraging small loans to impoverished families. Take a look at his book; "Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending & the Battle Against World Poverty."
