Revenue-Based
Funding

An advance against your future sales, repaid as a share of daily or weekly revenue. It flexes when you have a slow month, which is the whole point — and it costs more than a term loan, which is the honest trade.

Is this the right fit?

This is the most expensive product on the site. If a line of credit or a term loan is open to you, take that instead. This is a tool for speed and flexibility, not for cheap money.

Good fit if

  • Your revenue swings hard by season or by month
  • You need money in days, not weeks
  • Your credit will not clear a bank or SBA file
  • You have consistent card or deposit volume

Probably not if

  • You qualify for a term loan or line of credit — those cost less
  • Your margins are thin enough that a revenue share hurts
  • You are already carrying one or more advances
  • You want a fixed, predictable monthly payment

What you will need

  • Three to six months of business bank statements
  • Merchant processing statements if card volume is significant
  • Basic business details and time in business
  • A photo ID

Typical terms

These are the ranges we see across our funding partners. The cost is quoted as a factor rate, not an APR — always ask for the total dollars repaid. Terms are set by the partner, not by us.

TermTypical range
Amount$5,000 to $500,000, commonly 50–100% of a month's revenue
RepaymentA fixed percentage of daily or weekly deposits
CostExpressed as a factor rate, not an APR — ask for the total repayment figure
TermNot fixed; it ends when the total is repaid
CollateralUsually unsecured, with a personal guarantee
StackingMost partners will not fund on top of an existing advance

Ranges are illustrative and are not an offer of credit. Rates, fees, and terms are determined solely by the funding partner and disclosed to you before you sign.

Common questions

What does this actually cost?

It is quoted as a factor rate, so a 1.3 factor on $50,000 means $65,000 repaid. Always ask for the total dollars, not the rate. We will show you the number before you sign.

Will it hurt cash flow?

It is designed not to — repayment shrinks when sales shrink. But the total cost is higher than a term loan, so it is a tool for speed and flexibility, not for cheap money.

Can I pay it off early?

Some partners discount early payoff, many do not. Confirm on the specific offer.

Should I take this or a line of credit?

If you qualify for a line of credit, take the line of credit. We will tell you if you do.
