Frequenty Asked Questions

Revenue-based financing enables a company to share a percentage of future revenue with an investor in exchange for capital. Revenue linked payments, unlike fixed EMIs, are flexible and vary with the brand's revenue: going up for great-revenue periods and moderating for low-revenue periods.

It is an alternative investment model versus more conventional equity-based investments, such as venture capital and angel investing, as well as traditional debt financing.
