Merchants Acceptance Corp. was founded in 1988 by Bill Michael to offer financing to several specific local area distributors.
Bill grew up in a direct sales family, his father was a large direct sales distributor in the Seattle area. Bill realized the potential his father and other family members could have if there was only a better financing option. Bill started slowly, buying small batches of contracts, in order to grow his local financing circle. Bill surrounded himself with the right people and refined his processes so he could offer financing to other direct sales organizations and select retailers.
Our mission is to provide high quality consumer financing for direct sellers across the United States.
