Revenue-Based Financing

Home      Types of Financing      Revenue-Based Financing<

We realize the challenges faced by women, people of color, veterans and businesses in low to moderate income areas. Revenue-based financing allows more flexibility than traditional bank debt with no equity dilution. It is similar to a term loan, but instead of a fixed payment every month, a percentage of revenue is taken.

This allows for smaller payments during slower revenue months, and larger payments in stronger months.
