When you must use MCA — refinance out fast with SBA / RBF.
Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) at 40–100% APR and factoring at 15–30% are traps — but sometimes necessary for emergency capital. Playbook: use MCA to bridge 30–90 days, then immediately refinance into SBA 7(a) or asset-based line at 10–12%. Never stack multiple MCAs (fatal 'stacked' interest).
