Membership revenue is built for this

A gym with a few hundred members on monthly drafts has something many businesses envy: predictable deposits. Revenue-based financing uses that predictability. Instead of leaning mainly on collateral or a tax return, funding is sized from the revenue moving through your business bank account, and repayment is tied to that revenue.

It suits CrossFit boxes, yoga and pilates studios, martial arts schools, climbing gyms and full-service clubs alike.

How we size an offer

Our review starts with about three months of business bank statements. From there we look at:

  1. Your average monthly deposits and how steady they are
  2. The rhythm of your billing cycle, such as drafts on the 1st and 15th
  3. Any financing already coming out of the account
  4. The overall health of the account, including negative days

No tax returns are required. FICO 500+ is considered, and the first step is a soft credit pull.

Good uses for revenue-based funding

Because repayment follows revenue, owners often use it for projects that should grow membership:

Reading the offer like an operator

Before you accept, set the offer next to your own numbers. Start with your slowest month of the last year, not your busiest. Subtract rent, coach payroll, software and equipment payments. What is left is the room you actually have for a new payment. If the schedule in the offer eats most of that room, ask for a smaller amount. Also think about timing: funding a new studio buildout right before the summer dip means repayment starts when deposits are lightest. Many owners prefer to fund growth in late fall so new capacity is ready for the January rush.

Getting started

The application takes about 5 minutes. Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Every offer lists the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is revenue-based financing a loan?

It is a form of business funding sized from your revenue. Repayment is tied to the revenue your business brings in, and the full repayment amount is shown before you accept.

Do membership drafts count as revenue?

Yes. Recurring membership payments that land in your business bank account are part of the deposit history we review.

How much can my studio get?

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 overall. Your amount depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

What if January is huge and July is quiet?

That pattern is normal for fitness. We look at about three months of statements and the overall trend, not one peak.

Can a sole proprietor apply?

Yes, sole proprietors can apply.
