Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between RBF and an MCA?

Both repay as a percentage of revenue, but RBF typically has longer terms (12–36 months), lower factor rates, and is designed for technology businesses rather than card-based merchants.

Do I give up equity with revenue-based financing?

No — RBF is debt (or debt-like), not equity. You retain full ownership of your business.

What is a good factor rate for RBF?

SaaS-focused providers offer 1.05–1.15 for strong businesses. General RBF ranges from 1.15–1.35. Anything above 1.40 is expensive.
