I just published my analysis of Q2 2026 merchant cash advance market data, and the trends are significant.

Key findings:

• $1.25 billion in institutional capital deployed in Q2 2026 • 84–91% MCA approval rates (vs. 65% for traditional SBA loans) • $20.99 billion total market size in 2026 • CFPB excludes MCAs from Section 1071 reporting (May 2026)

The gap between MCA and traditional bank approval rates continues to widen, and small businesses are taking notice. Institutional capital is flowing in, regulatory clarity is improving, and alternative lending is moving from niche to mainstream.
