IS OUR FUNDING RIGHT FOR YOU?

We support a wide range of online businesses

General

Companies that benefit most from RBF have a scalable and predictable business model with high gross margins (typically SaaS/ Internet) and need to invest in technology and/or marketing to grow

Profitability

Venture backed companies can use RBF to extend their runway. Bootstrapped companies that are (on their way to become) profitable can use RBF for the final push to get the growth engine running at full speed

Funding need

To be eligible for RBF, you need to have at least €25k in monthly (recurring) revenue. Follow up rounds of RBF can easily be requested thanks to our easy re-application process

Ownership and current financing

RBF is suitable for any company, regardless of ownership or current financing arrangements, although the terms & conditions of bankloans or shareholder agreements may need to be addressed

* Residence: We currently provide RBF to EU based companies only

HOW IT WORKS

Setting you up for succes in three steps:

  • We start by scheduling a call

  • If the conclusion of the call is that a Revenue-Based Financing might work for your company and you like our approach, we can take the next step and dive into your numbers. We will run your bank accounts and businessplan through our financial model and get back to you with a tailor-made quote and advise on your funding

  • The third step in this process is getting to a final agreement and make your funding tailor-made to your needs

What comes next:

  • RBF comes with a flexible repayment based on a fixed percentage of your monthly revenue, until a repayment cap is reached. That’s it as far as the financing is concerned

  • On a monthly or quarterly basis, update calls will be scheduled to keep us all aligned and to help you to the best of our abilities with advise and network access

PRICING

One of the first things we do is analyze your funding need, your cap table and the role RBF can play. Maybe we can finance all of your growth funding need or maybe a combination with a traditional bank loan and/or equity does the trick. We will surprise you:

  • Transaction costs are between 5 to 10 times lower than for Venture Capital

  • In the long term, equity financing is significantly more expensive due to dilution
  • A fraction of the time required to obtain RBF, time better spent building your company

Our offer indicates the maximum RBF amount you can lend, the % of your cash revenue required for repayments, the proposed duration and the repayment cap. Since payments vary, a comparable interest cost can only be determined afterwards, but would typically be starting at 10%.

How CONVIOUS experiences the collaboration:

Camiel Kraan, CEO van Convious

“Our collaboration with Capital Mills has been excellent from the start. With their hands on support, network and knowledge, they have made a major contribution to the rapid development of Convious.”

How EDUMUNDO finances its growth with RBF:

Menno Thijssen, CEO van Edumundo

“Edumundo is not just any scale-up, the company has been around for more than 20 years. In the last 5 years, however, we have gained momentum. This acceleration does not only require fresh growth capital, but also a listening ear and a team that can think along and, above all, take account of it. Capital Mills can do this like no other and does not lose sight of our rich history. With respect for current shareholders and financiers, they have been able to perfectly support the most recent piece of growth through Revenue-based Financing.”

How MOPINION shaped its growth plans:

Udesh Jadnanansing, CEO van Mopinion

“Organic growth is fine, but it sometimes takes too long, especially when you see that there is an enormous opportunity to scale up quickly. Money is needed for that. We obtained a Venture Capital investment and Revenue-based Financing from Capital Mills and that has greatly helped us accelerate growth.”
