How revenue-based financing works
Instead of selling equity, you receive capital and repay it as a set percentage of revenue until a fixed cap (typically 1.3–2x) is reached. Payments flex with your revenue, easing pressure in slow months.
Growth capital repaid from revenue
Revenue-Based Financing for Startups
Revenue-based financing (RBF) gives founders growth capital repaid as a fixed percentage of monthly revenue — no board seats, and in many cases no personal guarantees. Bootstrap Directory tracks RBF providers and programs so you can fund growth on your terms.

Who RBF is best for
RBF suits startups with predictable, recurring revenue — SaaS, e-commerce, and subscription businesses — that want to fund growth without diluting ownership or qualifying for traditional bank loans.
RBF vs. equity vs. loans
RBF preserves ownership like a loan but flexes with revenue like equity. It's faster than venture rounds and often more accessible than bank debt, though the effective cost can be higher than a low-interest loan.
How we keep listings useful
