GoDaddy Capital FAQ

What are the differences between a merchant cash advance (MCA) and a small business loan? 

MCA: 

  • MCA is an advance of funds based on a merchant’s future sales.
  • MCA provides an easy way to access the funds you need, converting your future credit and debit card sales into working capital that helps your business grow.
  • There is no interest rate, just a flat fee for repayment.
  • It has a much faster application and approval process.

Small business loan:

  • A loan is money that financial institutions lend to a business, which is paid back over a scheduled term with interest.
  • It involves fixed monthly payments and requires a strong credit history and financial standing.
  • The application and approval process are slower and requires more paperwork. 

How does GoDaddy Capital work?

  • To start, access your commerce home account to check your eligibility for application. You can apply with just a few clicks, and there’s no paperwork or impact to your credit score.
  • Review your offers in your Commerce Home dashboard and select which one suits your business needs.
  • Once approved, the funds will be available in as little as 24 hours.
  • GoDaddy Capital automatically sets aside a portion of your sales, allowing you to pay back as you earn. This means, you’ll pay back more when sales are strong, and less when sales slow down.
  • After your initial cash advance, when you’re ready for additional funds, if eligible, you can apply for more. 

What are the benefits of a GoDaddy Capital merchant cash advance for your business?

  • Fast access to capital
  • No paperwork or impact to your credit
  • Very quick application process.
  • Flexible payment terms tied to sales.  

In summary, MCAs offer a convenient option for businesses seeking immediate funds without the inconvenience of a lengthy approval process. Companies should carefully assess their cash flow and sales projections before choosing an MCA to ensure it fits with their financial strategy.

Am I eligible for GoDaddy Capital?

Merchants who are processing with GoDaddy Payments are invited to apply. If you’re eligible for GoDaddy Capital, you will receive an email to apply for funding. When you log in to the Dashboard, a message will also appear inviting you to view your available funding offers. Eligibility and credit decisions are determined by our partners, YouLend and Pipe Technologies Inc., which will consider your business’s processing history, account history, payment frequency, and other business attributes.

What can I use the funds for?

You can use the funding for any business purpose. Most of our merchants utilize the funding to purchase stock, invest in advertising, execute refurbishments, add a new location, or manage a temporary disruption.

Will applying for GoDaddy Capital affect my credit score or require collateral?

No collateral is needed and there is no impact to your credit score for applying. Applying for GoDaddy Capital will not affect your personal or business credit score.

What interest rates and fees apply?

Only a flat fee is charged for GoDaddy Capital, with no interest. One of the benefits of GoDaddy Capital is that there is no interest rate associated with your advance. Instead, you will pay a fixed percentage based on the amount of funding you receive. We do not charge prepayment penalties or late fees. The amount you agree to pay in your contract is what you will pay. 

How will I make payments?

Payments will occur automatically as a fixed percentage of your daily sales. You’ll pay more when your sales are strong, less if sales slow down. This means that, unlike traditional business loans with an interest rate that constantly accrues, GoDaddy Capital deducts the payment directly from your cash flows without any additional fees or charges.

Can I get more than one round of funding?

You may be eligible for additional funding once you've paid a certain percentage of your current funding round.

Funding subject to application, underwriting, and approval, which is provided solely by GoDaddy's partners. Credit decisions and cash advances are managed solely by GoDaddy's partners (Youlend and Pipe Technologies Inc).
