Merchant Cash Advance Company Merchant Solutions Group Provides One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars to Small Businesses

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Merchant Solutions Group, one of the nation's leading provider of Merchant Cash Advances for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced that it has provided more than $150 million in working capital to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Founded in 1997, reaching the milestone took less than 6 years and the company is expected to reach the $200 million mark within the next two years.

This accelerated growth is a result of several strategic initiatives, including the continued investment made in the underlying Daily Remittance Platform™ (DRP) of Merchant Solutions Group.  The result: increased visibility into the portfolio, decreased risk and the ability to say "Yes" more often and for larger amounts.

Banks want to lend, but they appear to be hindered by their reliance on the same tools to score applications and service portfolios that have been used for decades. According to Merchant Solutions Group, many small and mid-sized businesses still look to their banks first for working capital, but only 34 percent have actually obtained a collateral-based bank loan. As a result, more than one out of 10 SMBs seek more innovative options, including Merchant Cash Advances non-traditional loan providers, and peer to peer lenders and factors, many of whom now offer Daily Remittance products.

Additionally, other investments, including the development of national sales partnerships and alliances, "2008, 2009 and 2010 were not easy for U.S. merchants," said Billy Morrissey, founder and CEO of Merchant Solutions Group. "Our ability to provide one hundred and fifty million dollars of working capital to our merchants during those difficult years speaks to our confidence in the entrepreneurial spirit of U.S. small business owners," Morrissey continued. "It is small businesses and the jobs they create that will bring us to full economic recovery, and we stand ready, willing and able to service them as they do."
