Elect Capital

SME loans and merchant advances

Overview

Elect Capital provides fast funding to small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States and United Kingdom, offering business loans and merchant cash advances ranging from $25,000 to $750,000. The process uses a streamlined online application with approval in hours and possible funding on the same day. Instead of relying primarily on personal credit scores, the underwriting evaluates business performance metrics such as monthly revenue, allowing a broad range of clients, including those who may not qualify for traditional bank loans, to access capital. The company serves diverse industries, including retail, e-commerce, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing, and earns revenue from interest and fees on the financed products. Elect Capital differentiates itself by its emphasis on revenue-based assessment and rapid, accessible funding rather than traditional banking criteria. Its goal is to provide quick, flexible working capital to SMEs to support growth and operations.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Pollen Street closed a senior secured facility on July 1, 2026, validating the platform.
  • Elect’s October 2026 website updates show active US product demand and fresh funded examples.
  • The company has serviced UK SMEs since 2025 and now offers up to £1,000,000.

What critics are saying

  • Short-term 3-12 month repayments can trap borrowers in refinance dependence and default cycles.
  • Pollen Street’s July 1, 2026 facility concentrates funding power; a pullback freezes origination.
  • UK and US regulators can clamp down on MCA-like lending terms, crushing growth and reputation.

What makes Elect Capital unique

  • Elect Capital underwrites revenue, cash flow, and trading history for same-day funding decisions.
  • It offers $25,000-$750,000 across US and UK SMEs through a fully online process.
  • Shared leadership with MCL Finance lets Elect cross-sell complementary short-term lending products.

Pollen Street backs Elect Capital with senior secured credit facility, upsizes MCL Finance deal

Pollen Street Capital has completed a senior secured credit facility with Elect Capital, a UK-based short-term SME fintech platform. The firm has also upsized and extended its existing facility with MCL Finance, which is managed by the same team. Elect Capital has been servicing short-term loans to UK SMEs since 2025, offering up to £1 million in financing. The platform operates alongside MCL Finance, established in 2018, which has serviced over £150 million across thousands of UK businesses with lending products up to 24 months. The MCL facility extension is for two years and reflects confidence in the business's trajectory. Both facilities support product expansion and increased lending to underbanked UK small businesses, which the team expects to be a growing market over the next five to ten years.
