Revenue-Based Financing via Sales Channel Integration
A direct financing service that underwrites small businesses based on their actual revenue flowing through payment processors (Stripe, Square, PayPal) rather than tax returns or balance sheets. The operator integrates into merchant accounts, pulls 90 days of transaction history, runs algorithmic risk scoring in real-time, and deploys capital within 48 hours. Repayment is a fixed daily or weekly debit (5–8% of daily sales) that scales with the business's actual cash flow—no fixed monthly payment that strangles a slow week.

Value Proposition
Approval in 48 hours (vs. 2–4 weeks for SBA), no tax returns or personal guarantees required, repayment tied to actual cash flow (not a fixed debt burden), and 12–18% blended cost vs. 25%+ for merchant cash advances or predatory lenders. Underwriting cost per deal is <$200 because it's algorithmic + light manual review.
Target Audience
E-commerce, SaaS, service-based small businesses (freelancers, agencies, coaches, local e-commerce shops) with $3k–$50k monthly revenue and 6+ months of payment processor history; explicitly excludes retail POS or cash-heavy businesses.

Small business owners cannot access affordable credit despite having viable businessesSmall business owners struggle to secure financing because traditional banks have strict requirements, lengthy approval processes, and high interest rates that make borrowing prohibitively expensive. Current solutions like bank loans and SBA programs are slow and require extensive documentation, leaving business owners unable to fund growth, manage cash flow gaps, or handle emergencies. This forces them to either stall growth or turn to predatory lenders with exploitative terms.
