Revenue-based financing (RBF) is a capital structure where Aurora businesses receive an upfront amount and repay by remitting a fixed percentage of monthly revenue until a capped total is paid. Unlike a loan, there's no fixed maturity — pay faster when revenue is up, slower when it's down.
Marquette Capital Group places RBF for businesses that don't quite fit conventional term-loan underwriting: high-growth service companies, SaaS businesses, subscription-based operators, and B2C companies with strong repeat revenue but limited hard collateral.
RBF is priced by cap multiple — the total amount you'll repay expressed as a multiple of the amount advanced (e.g., 1.35x on a $100K advance = $135K total). Effective APR depends on how fast you grow: rapid revenue growth pays off faster and lowers effective cost.
“RBF is a natural fit for high-growth, high-margin businesses that would rather flex payments with revenue than commit to a fixed schedule. For slower-growth businesses, a term loan is usually cheaper. We'll model both.”
Same family, different presentation. RBF is typically monthly-remittance and priced on annual revenue trajectory; MCAs are daily/weekly and priced on 3–6 months of bank statements. RBF tends to be gentler on cash flow.
Typically 3–10% of monthly revenue depending on cap multiple and expected term.
Debt — but structured without dilution. You keep your cap table clean.
Your monthly remittance drops proportionally, extending the effective term. There's no default trigger from a revenue dip alone.
No — no board seats, no covenants, no operational control.
