Merchant cash advance in Georgia

Georgia's small-business economy is anchored by Atlanta, one of the busiest logistics hubs in the country, which feeds a deep base of trucking, warehousing, and construction businesses. Fast population growth keeps contractors, restaurants, and medical practices expanding, and expansion eats cash. Sales-based financing is common here, and since 2024 offers come with mandatory written cost disclosures.

Georgia's commercial financing disclosure law

Georgia SB 90 (Commercial Financing Disclosures, 2023). Georgia SB 90, effective January 1, 2024, requires disclosures on commercial financing of $500,000 or less, including accounts receivable purchase transactions like merchant cash advances. Before closing, providers doing more than five deals a year in Georgia must disclose the funds provided, the total dollar cost, and payment information, similar to Truth in Lending style disclosures but without an APR requirement. The law also prohibits brokers from charging advance fees.

A Georgia merchant taking an offer of $500,000 or less should receive a written cost breakdown before signing, and should never pay a broker anything upfront. Since Georgia does not require an annualized rate, ask for one so you can compare offers on equal footing.

Georgia funding questions

Does Georgia have a merchant cash advance disclosure law?

Yes. SB 90 took effect January 1, 2024 and covers commercial financing of $500,000 or less, including receivable purchase products like MCAs. Providers who do more than five Georgia deals a year must disclose the funds provided, total dollar cost, and payment details before you sign.

Can a broker charge me an upfront fee in Georgia?

No. SB 90 prohibits brokers from assessing or soliciting an advance fee from a Georgia business. A legitimate broker gets paid when your deal funds, not before.

Does the Georgia disclosure include an APR?

No, Georgia requires dollar-cost and payment disclosures but not an annualized rate. The total dollar cost is still the key number, and you can ask any funder or broker to convert it to an annualized figure so you can compare an advance against a loan or line of credit.
