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.
