Why Use a Merchant Account for Your Business?

by Accept-Credit-Cards | Jul 28, 2011 | AVP Solutions Merchant Info | 0 comments

Any business in its earliest stages, or one planning to expand, can gain a customer advantage by accommodating credit card payments. Today, cards are the primary payment method for most consumers. Profits greatly increase when a business opens a merchant account for credit processing. These accounts permit a company to accept credit or debit card transactions through the internet or locally. Businesses that advance to this payment type experience higher profits, a wider range of customers, increased credibility, and boost customer satisfaction. These results are desired by all companies. Business accounts come in a variety of forms and the type of account chosen determines the success of this customer service addition.

There are multiple business account types available. An internet account is primarily used to sell merchandise to customers through a website. Retail accounts assist with physical location transactions. These are payments processed through a card reader or terminal. High-risk accounts are better suited for companies receiving an extensive amount of chargebacks or product returns. Businesses may decide to use a telephone account to accept phone payment. Direct marketers can utilize a MOTO business account. Global companies prefer offshore accounts because they allow for international payments. Wireless providers assist companies who perform most of their business outside of a physical location. These accounts suit various business needs. They are fairly affordable when the right account is set up. Take some time to determine how payments will be accepted, then choose an account type that will work for your business.

Better Business Financing Management

Businesses currently not accepting credit payments create more work for maintaining business financing. Credit service providers can provide cash advancement or other loan options that may not be obtainable through a bank. If credit has been hit hard or finances are not in order, a bank could reject a loan application. Some providers offer services where cash is given for later transactions. These services are great for small businesses just starting out with credit transactions. They give a business working capital to build a customer base and develop processes before the charges are taken out of profit. A flat discounted percentage is agreed upon. Once sales begin to settle, this percentage is taken out of the transaction amount.

Credit processing also assists in finance management. Do you have tons of invoices lying on desks or stored away in filing cabinets? Many smaller companies have tons of paperwork to sort through. The older method of doing business involves getting bills  printed, sorted, and sent to the customer. Paid invoices are filed to reference in the future. Money is spent on paper, mailing, and staff time. Since most customers like paying with a card, other forms of payments are drastically lowered. Now instead of dozens of invoices or high office supply costs, your business has everything needed to manage finances in one easy to read report. Business capital is maintained on every level.
