🌟 Hey ACS Payments Family! 🌟

Today, we're diving into 4 smart strategies for high-risk merchants (which can also benefit low-risk businesses) to boost profits and access capital, especially if you're hitting that awesome $5 million annual revenue mark!

1. 💰 Unlock Your Hidden Treasure - Recapture Reserves 🏦 : Typically, high-risk merchants have about 10% of their monthly revenue held in reserve. If your business processes $5 million annually, that’s $500,000 tucked away! With a solid processing history and low chargebacks, you might persuade your processor to release these funds. Think of it as uncovering a buried treasure in your backyard!

2. 🤝 Negotiate for Gold - Rate Reduction : If you’re paying 3.5% in processing fees on $5 million, that's $175,000 a year. Reducing this to 2.5% would bring your fees down to $125,000, saving you a cool $50,000. Or, consider switching to dual pricing, which could boost your profits to an amazing $157,500 annually. Remember, negotiation requires a strong processing history as your leverage.

3. 🚫Turn 'No' into 'Yes' - Decrease Declines ✅: For subscription models, an auto-update feature in your gateway can prevent lost revenue due to expired cards. If you’re experiencing a 10% decline rate on a $5 million revenue, that’s $500,000 slipping away. Also, ensure you have the correct Merchant Classification Code (MCC) to avoid unnecessary declines from banks mistaking your transactions for fraud.

4. 📈 Grow with a Boost - Merchant Cash Advance : Need a quick capital infusion to scale up? Companies like AMEX offer merchant cash advances, usually up to one month of revenue, repayable over a period like 3 or 6 months. This can be a game-changer for growth, but remember, it’s important to use this wisely as it can be costly.

By implementing these strategies, you could potentially unlock substantial funds from your reserves, save on processing fees, and secure additional capital for growth. Remember, a successful business is like a well-oiled machine – every part needs to be working optimally for the best performance. With this example, this merchant would have gained access to about an additional $1m - $1.15m in a year.

Keep aiming high and here's to your continued success! 🚀💸

As a company who sells online, online fitness coaching, sells nutraceuticals, etc… what’s the worst that can happen when you choose the wrong 💳 processing company?

✅ How about your account being setup incorrectly which can lead to overpaying in fees…

✅ Having your account dropped or frozen leading to your business not being able to take digital payments

✅ Funds being held for long durations of time
(Look at Stripe, Square, and PayPal for great examples with this)
