Use Revenue Based Financing for Company Financing
Company financing has evolved with the introduction of alternative finance options, such as Revenue-Based Financing (RBF), which brings several benefits to businesses seeking capital. This new form of financing stands out as an innovative solution, especially for companies that have recurring subscription based models.
One of the key advantages of RBF is the absence of a personal guarantee. Unlike traditional bank loans, which often require personal assets as collateral, RBF does not put the personal property of business owners at risk. This feature is particularly appealing to entrepreneurs who are cautious about tying their personal finances to the business's liabilities.
Another significant benefit of RBF is the preservation of equity. Businesses opting for RBF do not have to relinquish any ownership stake, unlike with venture capital, where equity is exchanged for funding. This aspect is crucial for business owners who wish to retain full control over their company and avoid diluting their ownership.
Our story in numbers
How does it work?
Eligibility criteria
Businesses need a MRR of 30k, positive growth and a broad subscriber base. Your business needs at least 6 months of financial data for our team to analyse. Currently, we fund European businesses across 16 jurisdictions.
Signup & analysis
On signup, businesses connect bank accounts, accounting software and subscription managers to our platform. The Levenue algorithm analyses these datasets, and if deemed eligible, our team provides you with a trading limit.
Funding & pricing
Draw on your trading limit at your discretion. The amount you trade will be offered to investors on Levenue's platform. Our pool of funding partners may then bid on your offering, and come to a fixed price via sealed bids.

Frequent FAQ's
How long is the signup process?
The initial phase of sharing all the required data generally takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Following this, there is a 48-hour period during which you will be notified about your eligibility and the corresponding funding amount. Once your deal is live on the marketplace, it may stay active for a period ranging from 1 to 20 days, depending on the response and offers from investors.
What is the eligibility criteria?
Key eligibility prerequisites encompass: possessing a legal entity within an European country where Levenue operates, operating as a subscription-based or SaaS company with monthly or quarterly recurring contracts, demonstrating over 12 months of revenue history, and maintaining a Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) exceeding 30K€.
How is the cost of capital determined?
After our analysis is complete, we will issue a trading limit, using data alone. It is at the company's discretion how many of their subscribers they will trade for up front capital. Investors bid in a Dutch Auction for the offered contracts until a discount rate is reached.
What key metrics are evaluated?
We evaluate growth rate, subscriber churn and cash burn. Furthermore, we look at cash flow stability and the indebtedness of a business. We will continue to constantly analyse these key metrics throughout the life of the trade.
