Revenue Based Finances

Revenue Based Financing Merchant Cash Advance Invoice Factoring Asset Based Loans Business Loans Business Line of Credit

A key issue with traditional business loans is the nature of the repayment structure. Fixed monthly payments do not offer flexibility for businesses with variable cashflow. Many industries go through busy and slow periods, making it difficult to qualify for traditional loans. Revenue Based Finance can be a great option if your company experiences inconsistent revenue.

Revenue Based Finance is similar to a Merchant Cash Advance, except it is not just limited to businesses with large volumes of debit and credit card sales. Businesses with enough revenue can qualify for large amounts of funding and receive longer terms. Revenue Based Finance is often one of the easier funding solutions to qualify for, and even easier to repay.

What is Revenue Based Finances?

Revenue Based Finance, or a “Business Cash Advance” as it is sometimes called, is a form of funding where your business receives a lump sum of money based on it’s total monthly revenue. You are able to repay this with daily, weekly, or monthly payments. These payments are calculated based on your business’s total sales volume, not just debit and credit card sales - as is the case with a Merchant Cash Advance.

How Does Revenue Based Finance Work?

The funding amount you are eligible for is based on your business’s total monthly revenue. This allows you to receive more money than a Merchant Cash Advance which only looks at your debit and credit card sales.

Your repayment structure will be based on your business’s cash flow, and could take the form of daily, weekly, or monthly payments. Depending on your repayment frequency, a factor rate will be applied to calculate your payment amount. These payments will increase/decrease as your revenue fluctuates, until you have repaid the full amount within the given term.

What Are The Benefits of Revenue Based Finance?

Revenue Based Finance enables businesses to take advantage of their recent growth. You can secure larger funding amounts if your revenue has increased significantly over the past several months. This also means that your business’s credit score and annual revenue will not play a role in your approval process.

Another unique benefit of Revenue Based Finance is the repayment structure. Payments are not fixed, they fluctuate proportionally to your revenue. This is useful for seasonal businesses or for any business with an unexpectedly slow month. They would have access to their Revenue Based Financing during the slow months, and not have to pay back the majority of the debt until a busier season or a rise in sales.

Unlike a Merchant Cash Advance, Revenue Based Finance is not just for businesses with high volumes of debit and credit card sales. All payment methods including checks, bank transfers, cash, and others are included when calculating your funding amount and terms.

Revenue Based Finance usually offers longer terms than Merchant Cash Advances, because it’s repayment structure is on a flexible schedule, be it daily, weekly, or monthly.

What Are The Downsides of Revenue Based Finance?

Revenue Based Finance is often times a business’s last resort when they cannot qualify for other more traditional options like Business Lines of Credit or Business Term Loans.

When a business has poor credit, it increases the likelihood they will default, so products like Revenue Based Finance and Merchant Cash Advances have higher rates. Between the two, Revenue Based Finance is usually more costly due to it’s larger funding amounts and longer terms.
