Revenue-based financing is a funding strategy where a company secures capital in exchange for a portion of its future sales until a predetermined amount is repaid. This approach provides an alternative to conventional stock or debt funding by aligning repayment terms with the company's financial performance.
The enterprises involved in revenue-based financing typically include micro-enterprises, small-sized enterprises, and medium-sized enterprises. Microenterprises refer to small businesses that provide goods and services to a local community or market. Funding through revenue-based financing can be facilitated through both online and offline modes and is applicable to various industry verticals such as information technology and telecommunications, healthcare, media and entertainment, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), consumer goods, energy and utilities, and others.
