Our funding is based on your performance. We don't take equity, meaning we don't dilute you or your investors.

We aim to stick to our original estimated percentage share of revenue. However, we may have to vary the repayment percentage depending on your revenues during the repayment period. You can contact your account manager with any queries about your account.
Repayment is based on your future revenues so the time to repay varies depending on your business and the revenue share we agree. We usually aim for a 6 month repayment period but we'll advise you on your expected repayment time after your offer completes.
The repayment percentage is the percentage of revenue we take while you repay your funding. We typically set it at 1-20% of future revenue over the course of repayment, to keep a healthy cash flow in your day to day operations. We'll work with you to find a rate that fits your business.
We automatically collect a pre-agreed percentage share of revenue on a daily direct debit from your bank account. The debit usually runs two business days in arrears of the revenue.
