Merchant Cash Advance & Business Funding in Kansas
Kansas's small-business economy runs on agriculture and ag-services across the western and central parts of the state, manufacturing and aviation around Wichita, and a broad services and logistics base in the Kansas City and Topeka metros. As of July 1, 2024, Kansas commercial-financing providers must give a standardized disclosure under SB 345, and brokers are barred from advance fees and false representations. Commera matches KS owners with funders that follow SB 345 to the letter.

What Kansas's commercial financing law means for you
Kansas SB 345 (Commercial Financing Disclosure Act)
Effective: July 1, 2024
Citation: Kansas SB 345 (2024); codified in Kansas commercial financing statutes
Kansas requires non-bank commercial financing providers — including merchant cash advance funders — to give every prospective business a standardized written disclosure before the financing agreement is signed. The disclosure must include the total amount of financing, the finance charge in dollars, the term, the payment amount and frequency, and the prepayment policy. The disclosure obligation falls on the provider, not the broker. Brokers are separately prohibited from charging advance fees or making false representations about the financing.
Applicability
Applies to commercial financing transactions in Kansas. Banks and bank-affiliated entities are exempt. Real-estate-secured transactions are excluded.
What you should expect
- A pre-signing disclosure document — not just a term sheet — from your funder
- Total financing amount and total finance charge in dollars
- Payment schedule with the dollar amount per payment
- Prepayment policy — what early payoff actually saves you
- No advance fees from the broker (illegal in Kansas)

Funding for Kansas's key industries
Trucking & logistics
Kansas sits at the geographic center of the country, which makes it a national trucking and distribution corridor. Owner-operators and small fleets use MCA for fuel float, repairs, and equipment purchases.
Agriculture & ag-services
Western and central Kansas farms and ag-service businesses face seasonal cash-flow swings tied to planting and harvest. MCA fits owners bridging equipment costs and operating expenses between sale cycles.
Restaurants
From Wichita and Kansas City restaurant scenes to college-town markets like Lawrence and Manhattan, KS restaurants use working capital for equipment, payroll bridges, and seasonal inventory.
Auto repair & service
Car-dependent rural and suburban Kansas keeps auto repair busy year-round. Equipment financing, lift installs, and parts pre-buys are common MCA use cases.

Once you accept and bank statements clear, funds typically wire in 24–48 hours. We stay in the loop as the broker until the deal closes.
Common questions from Kansas owners
Is a merchant cash advance legal in Kansas?
Yes — MCAs are legal for commercial purposes in Kansas. They're regulated under SB 345 (effective July 1, 2024), which requires non-bank funders to give you a standardized pre-signing disclosure. They are not consumer loans and don't fall under Kansas's consumer-credit usury caps.
What does Kansas SB 345 require my funder to disclose?
Before signing, you must receive: total financing amount, finance charge in dollars, term, payment amount and frequency, and the prepayment policy. The funder is the disclosing party, not the broker.
Are brokers regulated under Kansas SB 345 too?
Yes — brokers facilitating commercial financing in Kansas are prohibited from charging advance fees or making false representations about the financing. Commera is paid by the funder when a deal closes — we never charge applicants up front.
Does Commera serve all of Kansas?
Yes — Wichita, Kansas City, Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Salina, Hutchinson, Dodge City, and every rural county in between. There's no city restriction within the state.
