Financing that tracks your sales

Revenue-based financing ties repayment to how much your store brings in. When the spring project rush fills the parking lot, more goes back. When January goes quiet, the amount eases with it. For a business as seasonal as a hardware store, that link between sales and repayment is the main appeal.

The way repayment works for your specific offer is spelled out before you accept, including the full repayment amount.

How we size an offer

Because this product follows revenue, your deposits drive most of the decision. We look at:

  1. About three months of business bank statements
  2. Average monthly deposits and how much they swing
  3. Existing obligations already coming out of the account
  4. Account health, such as low balance days

FICO 500+ is considered and we start with a soft credit pull. No tax returns are required.

Where hardware owners use it

If you are planning a bigger move, the hardware store expansion funding page covers that angle, and the slow season funding page covers the quiet months.

A quick example

For illustration: a two-location store sees strong deposits from March through July, then a softer fall and a quiet stretch after the holidays. The owner wants to pre-buy spring inventory in February, when cash is lowest. Revenue-based financing lets them fund that purchase while repayment follows the sales the inventory produces. The exact structure depends on their deposits and any existing obligations, and it would be spelled out in writing before they accepted.

Every store is different, so the best way to see your number is to apply. It takes about five minutes, starts with a soft pull and does not commit you to anything. Read the qualification guide if you want to prepare first.

Compared with other options

A business line of credit works well if you want to draw and redraw as needed. A merchant cash advance is built around card sales specifically. Revenue-based financing sits close to both, keyed to overall revenue. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000. Start with the 5-minute application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is revenue-based financing different from a bank loan?

Repayment is tied to your revenue rather than a fixed bank schedule, and approval leans on your deposit history more than collateral or tax returns.

Does a slow winter hurt my chances?

Seasonal swings are expected in hardware retail. We look at your full deposit pattern rather than one weak month.

What do I need to apply?

The 5-minute application and about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required.

Will you check my credit?

We start with a soft pull, which does not affect your score. FICO 500+ is considered.

Can a sole proprietor apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply.

Is the total cost clear before I sign?

Yes. Your offer shows the full repayment amount before you accept, with no surprise costs after you sign.
