Delaware is famous for the paperwork: more than half of publicly traded U.S. companies are incorporated there. But the day-to-day economy is just as interesting. Wilmington is a banking and credit card hub, the state has a long chemical industry heritage, and Sussex County is one of the top poultry-producing counties in the country. Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach swell with visitors every summer, and the lack of a state sales tax draws shoppers from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland to stores in Newark, Christiana and Dover.

How a Merchant Cash Advance Works

Think of it as selling part of tomorrow's receivables for capital today. For Delaware owners, the funder advances a lump sum and takes an agreed portion of future sales until the purchased amount is reached, all spelled out in writing. Delaware offers through our network range from $25,000 to $5,000,000, based on revenue and each funder's review.

Doing Business in Delaware

Delaware's location on the Northeast Corridor puts it between Philadelphia and Baltimore, and I-95 traffic supports gas stations, restaurants and retail all along the route. Dover hosts NASCAR races at Dover Motor Speedway and the Firefly music festival has drawn big crowds, while Dover Air Force Base supports nearby businesses. Downstate, tourism and poultry dominate; upstate, banks and corporate services keep Wilmington busy.

Who Qualifies in Delaware

Funders look at the real operating business rather than where a company is incorporated. They want a Delaware business with consistent deposits, an established track record and recent statements from a business account. Beach-town businesses should expect questions about seasonality. Credit is one part of the review, and approval is never assured.
