How Revenue-Based Finance Works

How modern digital businesses and omnichannel retailers raise growth capital without giving away equity or board seats.

1. What Is Revenue-Based Finance?

Revenue-based finance (RBF) enables companies to access upfront capital and repay through a fixed percentage of monthly gross revenues. It is tailored for digital brands, SaaS providers, and omnichannel operations.

2. Open Banking and Real-Time Integration

Underwriters connect to your banking and accounting APIs to evaluate cash flows, enabling funding decisions within hours without tedious manual paperwork.

3. RBF vs Venture Capital

Unlike VC equity, RBF takes zero shares, requires no board seats, and incurs zero ownership dilution.
