MCA Impact on Landscaping Companies - The Effects and Relief Possibilities
As we reach 250 years of our great nation, it’s important to look back at the great industries that helped to build it. The landscaping industry certainly has one of the strongest claims to that honor. Whether it’s working on residential or commercial lawns and gardens, or working to preserve local and national parks, the landscaping industry is extremely versatile and has to deal with ever-changing outdoor conditions.
To keep up, owners and managers might turn to merchant cash advances, or MCAs, for fast and easy funding. However, as we’ve covered in our ongoing series on the impact of MCA payments, that could very well cause more harm than good.
Managing Seasonal Cash Flow Challenges
Landscaping businesses often experience seasonal fluctuations, weather-related disruptions, equipment expenses, and labor costs. During the winter and fall months, it can be difficult to impossible to get any major landscaping work done, thus greatly reducing potential profit. Depending on the scale of the landscaping project, a large amount of staff and workers will be required, and payroll needs to be updated on a regular basis.
Additionally, equipment will need to be purchased regularly, whether it is to bolster a larger job, or to replace older equipment that is getting worn out. This is probably the most consistent and important payment that landscaping companies will need to make. Adding large and ongoing MCA payments on top of that, as well as the potential for hidden fees, the negative impacts could be devastating.
The Impact of MCA Debt
As a result of ongoing and crippling merchant cash advance payments, landscaping companies may experience:
- Reduced working capital
- Difficulty maintaining equipment
- Challenges covering payroll
- Limited growth opportunities
- Increased financial stress
