Revenue Based Financing

Fast Capital Based on Business Revenue

Revenue based financing options may provide quick access to capital based on business revenue and future receivables.

Overview

Revenue based financing provides an upfront sum in exchange for a portion of future business receivables or sales, typically repaid through fixed daily or weekly remittances. It is commonly used when speed matters and traditional documentation isn't available. Cost is typically expressed as a factor rate rather than an APR.
