How revenue-based financing works

Revenue-based financing is not a loan. We purchase a set amount of your future receivables at a discount, and you deliver those receivables as a small percentage of each day's or week's sales until the agreed amount is complete.

Because repayment is a percentage rather than a fixed installment, the dollar amount moves with your business. A slow February costs you less per day than a busy December. That is the core difference from a term loan, where the payment is the same whether or not the sales showed up.

What it costs

Revenue-based financing is priced with a factor rate, not an interest rate. A factor rate is a multiplier applied once to the amount advanced: at a 1.25 factor, $50,000 advanced means $62,500 delivered in total.

Because the cost is fixed at the outset rather than accruing over time, paying it off sooner does not reduce the total the way it would on an interest-bearing loan. That is the trade for flexible payments and speed, and it is the single most important number to compare between offers.

Who it fits

It tends to suit businesses with steady card or bank deposit volume and a clear, time-sensitive use for the money.

What we look at

Underwriting leans on bank activity rather than your credit score. Connecting your bank read-only through Plaid, or uploading recent statements, is usually enough to get a decision — most applications get an answer in under 30 minutes.

We are generally looking for a business operating for at least six months with consistent monthly deposits. Because the review is deposit-driven, a thin or bruised personal credit file is not automatically disqualifying.

Frequently asked questions

Is revenue-based financing a loan?

No. It is the purchase of a fixed amount of future receivables at a discount, which is why it is priced with a factor rate rather than an interest rate and why there is no fixed monthly payment or maturity date.

How fast can I get funded?

Most applications receive a decision in under 30 minutes, and approved businesses are commonly funded within 24 to 72 hours once documents are signed.

Will applying affect my credit score?

Checking your options does not affect your credit score. Underwriting is driven primarily by your business bank activity.

What if I have bad credit?

Because the decision leans on bank deposits rather than credit score, many businesses with imperfect personal credit still qualify. Consistent monthly revenue matters more than the score itself.
