Most lenders give you capital but leave you with a broken checkout.
If your POS is outdated and your cash flow is tight, fixing one without the other only solves half the problem.
Pure MCA lenders fund in 24 hours, then hand you back to whatever vendor made your checkout slow in the first place.
United Banc Card of TN bundles funding access with a free POS upgrade, so both problems get fixed in the same conversation.
One call to Karl covers the loan application, the new hardware, and the installation.

What is micro advance funding?
Micro advance funding is a merchant cash advance in the $5,000–$35,000 range, structured as a purchase of future credit card revenue rather than a traditional loan. Approval is based on monthly card volume, not personal credit.
Repayment draws from daily or weekly card sales at a fixed holdback rate, so payments shrink in slow months. Factor rates typically run 1.1–1.5, meaning you repay 110–150% of the funded amount.
Small independent restaurants and retailers use micro advances when they need fast working capital for equipment, inventory, or seasonal gaps and don't qualify for a conventional bank loan.
Frequently asked questions
Is the POS hardware really free?
Yes. Hardware and software are provided at no upfront cost when you sign a merchant processing agreement. The revenue model is built on processing residuals, so the hardware cost is offset by the ongoing processing relationship. If you'd prefer to own hardware outright without a processing agreement, rental options start at $8 per month.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most installations are completed within 24 to 48 hours of finalizing your agreement, based on the Franklin and Murfreesboro location pages. Karl's team handles onsite installation, software programming, and staff training in that window. Complex multi-location setups may take longer, but single-location businesses are typically running within two business days.
Which POS system is right for my business?
It depends on your business type. Lavu is built for full-service and quick-service restaurants on iPad. Clover works across restaurants and retail. Korona is designed for convenience and liquor stores. Retailcloud fits retail businesses that sell both in-store and online. Karl consults on the right match before you commit to anything.
Is there a contract or early termination fee?
Contract terms depend on the specific merchant processing agreement you sign, and United Banc Card of TN acts as a local agent rather than the processor itself. Karl reviews the terms with you directly during the consultation, which is how merchants avoid the hidden-fee surprises common with national processors. On the lending side, business loans carry no prepayment penalty.
What kind of support do you get after setup?
You get 24/7 technical support, a lifetime POS system warranty, and unlimited paper supplies included. Support comes from a Tennessee-based team, not a national call center, so you can reach Karl directly when something goes wrong during a dinner rush or weekend shift.
Can United Banc Card of TN help if my business needs funding?
Yes. Through a partnership with GoKapital, you can access merchant cash advances, business term loans, SBA loans, equipment leasing, lines of credit, revenue-based loans, and startup loans. Merchant cash advances require at least $20,000 per month in card processing revenue. Revenue-based loans can be approved for up to 150% of your average monthly revenue.
