Pennsylvania's economy is anchored by two very different cities. Philadelphia is a center for healthcare, universities and life sciences, with a deep restaurant scene famous for cheesesteaks. Pittsburgh has reinvented itself from steel to robotics, healthcare and education. The Lehigh Valley around Allentown and Bethlehem is packed with distribution warehouses serving the East Coast, and the state is a leader in natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. Lancaster County farms, Hershey's chocolate, Kennett Square's mushrooms and the Poconos' resorts add even more variety.

How a Merchant Cash Advance Works

Think of it as selling part of tomorrow's receivables for capital today. For Pennsylvania 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. Pennsylvania offers through our network range from $25,000 to $5,000,000, based on revenue and each funder's review.

Doing Business in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has a mix of old and new economies. Steel and coal built many towns, and today healthcare, logistics and education drive growth. Philadelphia sports and events lift restaurants and bars, while State College fills on Penn State football Saturdays. Amish and Mennonite businesses in Lancaster County are known for quality craftsmanship, and the Poconos draw visitors year-round to ski resorts, waterparks and lakes. Philly's Italian Market, Pittsburgh's Strip District and Reading Terminal Market are packed with independent food vendors who buy inventory daily.

Who Qualifies in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania funders review consistent business deposits, time in business and recent statements. Distribution and trucking businesses should expect questions about contract volume, and Pocono tourism businesses about seasonality. Credit is reviewed as one factor, and approval rests with the funder.
