Areas of Focus
Specialized capital across complex and evolving markets.
The six areas below cover very different ground: merchant cash advances, consumer debt settlement, online gaming, pre-settlement funding, retail installment credit, and corporate loans. Each has its own contracts, its own rules, and its own way of producing cash, and circumstances in each can change over the life of an arrangement. Each area’s page describes what it is, why it is complex, and the role of Northway Specialty Finance in it.
01Areas of Focus
Merchant Cash Advance
Northway focuses on financing companies that originate merchant cash advances. In a merchant cash advance, a business sells a share of its future receivables in exchange for an upfront payment.
