Why PowerForce POS?
PowerForce POS represents simplicity. We will provide a free demonstration of the software for your merchant and help them understand what they need for their business. Our hardware has been proven in some of the toughest environments possible including Dillards, Outback Steakhouse, Cheesecake Factory and Caesar's Palace. Our Software, Aldelo for Restaurants, is currently deployed in over 50,000 locations throughout the country and has proven itself to be an industry leader. To complete the package we include one year of Kaspersky internet security and full PCI Compliance assistance including network scanning, PCI SAQ, Network Policy Builder and Security Training. Our service plans start with automated offsite backup and upgrades and go all the way up to $50,000 PCI Breach Protection.

Designed to Generate Revenue
PowerForce POS has structured our pricing system to allow flexibility for our agents. We advertise a price above the agent cost and allow agents to charge up to the listed MSRP for the equipment. Our agents will receive the difference between their cost and what is charged to the merchant. With our flexible payment options, you will be able to provide a high end solution for your client at a competitive price without sacrificing your own profits.

Dear Partners,

We would like to thank you for making our starter cash advance program the #1 source in the industry catering to those merchants which aren't eligible for traditional cash advances or financing!

This message will share with you some of the exciting new enhancements 1st Merchant Funding made to our original starter cash advance program.

You Asked. We listened.

1st Merchant Funding is pleased to introduce lower daily splits and decreased paybacks in addition to our Flagship Cash 4 Declines Starter Advance Program!

Starter Advance Program B
-Advance 25% of Credit Card Volume to $20,000
-20% Holdback
-Factor rate set at 1.45%

Your declined merchants can now receive 25-50% of their monthly credit card volume!

The Originators of the "Starter Advance Program"

As you already know 1st Merchant Funding predicted the need for change in the merchant cash advance industry. Today's market and economy can put a significant hurdle on merchants trying to obtain financing for their business. After much feedback and evaluation of the cash advance industry we knew it was time to judge a business as a business vs. judging the business for the business owners personal mishaps. This is how the starter merchant cash advance was created.

Same Day Payouts! Quickest Industry Funding!

You get paid the same day your merchant funds. With our quick and simple underwriting our average funding time is typically 24-48 hours after download!

We would like to thank our partners and agents for making us the #1 source for funding the most starter advances in the industry on an annual as well as daily basis!

Should you need individual assistance, training, a free license to our proprietary CRM system built for the MCA industry please do not hesitate to contact your ISO relationship manager directly.

We look forward to continued success!
