Business loans

Revenue-based financing

Growth capital repaid as a small percentage of monthly sales, so payments shrink in slow months and grow in strong ones. No equity given up.

Revenue-based financing is similar to a term loan, but instead of a fixed monthly payment, a set percentage of revenue is collected until the principal and fees are repaid. That flexibility suits growing companies, and the program is designed to reach women-, minority-, veteran-, and LGBTQ+-owned businesses and companies in low- to moderate-income areas.
