If I understand it properly, APR has to do with usage of the money, with how much is usable at any given moment. So take 3 LOAN offers of $100k over 12 months, all at a 1.30 rate. 1st has a daily payment, 2nd is weekly, and 3rd is monthly. Even though at the end of the day each is paying $30k on the money, the effective APR would be very different.
Anyone who has a better explanation please feel free to correct me.

Your mistake also is calling it 16% .it should always be referred to as a 1.16 factor

Daily, weekly, monthly does make a difference in an APR but that is not the big factor in this case.
Think of it this way.
If it was a amortizing loan, like a mortgage, at a 16% with a level payment, the amount of interest would go down with every payment as the loan balance dropped. So by the end of the term if you add up the interest paid it and divided it by the loan amount it would amount to about 8%.
But with an MCA you are charging a fixed factor, plus the upfront.
Put another way, an amortizing loan at 16% for a year with daily payments would result in a total of $81,176.33 paid over the year compared to $87,000 in your case. Or compared to a loan he would pay almost $6,000 more.
I don’t get quite to 40% but you get the idea.

It is based on the time value of money. The more frequent payments the higher the APR, daily payments will be a higher APR than weekly payments would be. For instance a 1.35 over 12 months is actually 68.83% with daily payments, weekly around 55%.

As a simple rule of thumb, the APR will be slightly less than the annualized factor multiplied by two.
EG: 1.30 factor over 6 months = 1.60 over 12 months = 110% APR.
1.13 factor over 6 months = 1.26 over 12 months = 45% APR.
Not an exact science, but it's very close. Cool little trick to convert factor to APR.Zachary Ramirez – CEO

Jfeinberg wins the prize. Zack, if your client has full,use of the mokey for a full year your 16% figure would be correct. However as the loan amortized he gets the use of about 60% over the year.....hence the increased APR. For those willing to look at history I would Google add- on retest rates, a method of stating innacurate interest rates to consumer...the Fed halted that practice.

Everyone has correctly commented!
I am gonna geek out here with some finance...
The APR for this calculation, assuming that you have 20 repayment days per month, would be approximately 43%. But actually the "APR" will be slightly less because a month has about 30~31 days. But the true calculation is not "APR," it is IRR (Internal Rate of Return) because the advance amortizes the principal as well as pays back the interest.
The mathematical calculation of 43% "APR" is correct. But if the financial product is an advance... you cannot use the term "APR." Furthermore, although the contract header may be entitled "business loan agreement," the underlying terms are more important. If this is an advance, with splits, withholds, etc., you cannot use the terms interest rates, APR, etc.
I have no comment on the legality of the terms... my comments are only for the financial interpretation of the terms. I have a CPA certificate from the Commmonwealth of Virginia and a finance degree from an MBA program...not bragging, just wanted to give some back-up to my comments.
I hope this helps. Please private message me if you have any further questions.

You are 100% correct Mark. This is because the interest is applied to the principal balance at different intervals (principal balance x monthly interest rate). Generally speaking, factor rate lenders/funders will apply their interest either daily or weekly. The lower the principal balance is when the interest accrues, the lower total interest will be paid (assuming a static APR).
Because daily payments and weekly payments force the principal down faster, but the factor rate remains the same, the APR is therefore greater. This means there is not only less capital available to the borrower at any given time during the loan, but the APR itself also increases due to having a static factor rate rather than a traditional APR calculation.Zachary Ramirez – CEO
