I will only provide cash advance services to my merchants through Cash Buoy.
I have been in the Payments industry for over 20 years. I had dealt with many companies that offer cash advances to merchants over that time and had nothing but bad experiences with every single one…..They all required ridiculous amounts of paperwork, they were slow to respond to inquiries from myself or my merchants, they were always requesting more information, they were always changing the terms, and some companies actually sent site inspectors to my merchants businesses unannounced that would come in through the back door with no introductions and start doing surveys. In other words, every single time I tried to help a merchant secure funding for their business it was a total nightmare that consumed an inordinate amount of my time and left the Merchant stressed, sometimes angry, and always with a bad taste in their mouth and in the end it wound up hurting my credibility and trust with the merchant as a Merchant Services professional. I actually quit offering cash advances to my Merchants for a few years because the experiences had been so bad but I heard about Cash Buoy at a seminar and decided I would try offering cash advances to my Merchants one more time and I’m very happy that I did! Minimum amount of paperwork, one-page online application, documentation handled quickly and easily, Same-day turnaround, etc…The staff at Cash Buoy is professional and personally involved and always available. Someone answers the phone every time I call I never once had to leave a voicemail and wait for a return call and my emails are returned within minutes not days or hours like the other companies I used in the past. They’ve always dealt with the merchant with care and professionalism always making them feel comfortable with the process. Anayeli Goodwin and her customer support and underwriting teams are hands down the best I have ever worked with! For me, it’s Cash Buoy exclusively!

The team at Cash Buoy were professional and efficient with the management of my client's funding transaction. We'll certainly continue working with them and look forward to it.
Great Customer & Partner Support from Cash Buoy!
Everything went smooth & exceeded expectations, especially how well the Cash Buoy Team helped the merchant facilitate and complete the conversion of the lockbox with their merchant processor. This was our first submission and always nice to get the first one funded. Lastly, when we called Cash Buoy a couple time we went to voicemail and even though we didn't leave a message we would get a call back from The Team to inquire if we needed help or had a question. We are very happy to have them as a funding partner.

Cash Buoy is the best lender in the payment space that I’ve worked with. They funded my first merchant within 48 hrs!
Simple, fast and effective!
Most businesses in these difficult times of the pandemic have suffered tremendously economically. Some survived and some lost it all.
Cash Buoy's main focus is to help these businesses with working capital they need as a booster to take their businesses to the next level.
And best of all, their process to apply for immediate funds is simple, fast and effective.
$50,000 funded for equipment
One of my existing merchants needed $50,000 for equipment. After numerous negative experiences with other lenders, I wasn't comfortable sending his file to just any company. I remembered Cash Buoy. I am so glad that I did ( and so is my merchant). Merchant was approved and funded in 2 days. The entire staff was honest, thorough and professional. They went over and above to get the terms that we needed to make the deal work. I am very impressed !
Sean was a very patient experience
Sean was a very patient experience. He was very understanding about my business and it's financial situation. Will definitely use Cashbouy again, if the need arises.
Payment Dude
I'm an agent in the payments industry. I've worked with other MCA companies in the past that are very difficult to deal with. Sean and his crew at Cash Bouy we're amazing. Everything they did was created to be easy for the agent. Extremely fast service with no hassles. I will always use Cash Bouy.
Trustworthy!
Extremely professional throughout the entire workflow and communicated clearly of next steps. The turnaround time was amazing! If more businesses handled themselves like Cash Buoy, we would no longer have headaches at work! Definitely, plan to use their services in the future. Thank you Cash Buoy Team!
Outstanding
I have been assisting business owners in The Chicago Area with their Transaction and Working Capital needs for over 25 years. On Tuesday I was contacted by a long term client with an urgent funding request so I reached out to The Team at Cash Buoy. It is now Thursday morning and my long term client just called to tell me she has been funded. Start to finish less then 48 hours. Just OUTSTANDING.
We all win when we provide this level of service. Especially in these uncertain times.
