How it Works

Ticket size: USD 50K – 150K

Instruments: Revenue-based financing where the repayment period is variable and tied to a company’s quarterly revenue:

• Revenue-based loan is debt that is repaid through a percentage of a company’s revenue. 

• Redeemable Equity is an equity instrument in which an investor holds redeemable preferred shares. Following an initial grace period, the company redeems the shares through a percentage of revenue up to a pre-determined cap.
