REVENUE-BASED FINANCING

Your revenue is real. Your cash should be too.

Working capital sized to what your business already earns. It covers payroll, inventory and the gaps between invoices and keeps you out of the next daily-debit trap. You don't give up a share of your company.

Qualify My Deal

Revenue-based funding from $3,000 to $3 million for operating U.S. businesses. Subject to underwriting.

Sound Familiar?

  • Sales are up, but the bank account is still empty on Thursday.
  • Payroll is due before your customers pay. Net 60 or Net 90 terms are squeezing you.
  • Your bank approved a line, but it only covers part of what the season needs.
  • You took one advance to get through a slow month. Now a payment comes out every day, and someone is offering a second advance to "help."
  • Every time you fill out a form online, your phone doesn't stop ringing.
  • Private equity will write the check, but they want a piece of the company you built.

You don't have a revenue problem. You have a timing problem. It deserves a clear, documented solution, not a rushed one.

What This Actually Is

Working Capital Against Your Revenue is revenue-based funding for operating U.S. businesses. The amount is typically about one month of your average revenue, subject to underwriting. It is sized to what your business already brings in, not to the biggest number someone can sell you.

Amounts
$3,000 to $3,000,000, subject to underwriting.
Ownership
No equity, no board seats, no dilution.
Use of funds
The program does not dictate how you use the capital in your business, whether for payroll, inventory, hiring or expansion. You will still be asked for a credible use of funds.
Who funds it
Vetted U.S.-based private capital providers that focus on lower-middle-market businesses. AFG is not the lender.

AltFunds Global is an independent consulting firm. It is not a bank, lender, broker-dealer, fund or registered financial adviser, and it does not hold client funds. AFG prepares and positions your file and aligns you with one suitable capital provider. The provider makes every funding decision and transacts directly with you.

Already approved for part of what you need? That's where we do our best work. AltFunds Global engineers the capital stack after the first approval. If your bank line covers some of the season, this program may help cover the rest.

Who It's For

To be considered, your business must:

  • Be an operating U.S. business with at least 1 year of activity
  • Generate U.S. revenue
  • Have been producing revenue for at least 6 months
  • Average at least $25,000 a month in business deposits
  • Operate in a non-restricted industry
  • Bank with a U.S.-chartered financial institution. Statements from fintech or digital-only platforms are not accepted.
  • Be willing to provide the required documents

Industries not eligible: cannabis, gambling, adult content, crypto, firearms and payday lending.

This is for verified operating businesses and principals with complete documentation, a credible use of funds, and a clear repayment or exit strategy. It is not a promise of financing or approval.

How It Works

Verification, not application. We don't send your file to every lender who will take it. We verify it, position it, and take it to one curated capital provider.

  1. Submit your file. Upload your financials through the Capital Concierge.
  2. AFG review. We verify your documents, look at your real cash flow (including any existing advances or debits), and position your case for the provider.
  3. Soft approval. The provider gives an initial indication once it has reviewed your file.
  4. Formal offer. After underwriting, the provider issues a formal offer. Read every term: the amount, total cost and how repayment is collected. Nothing moves forward without your approval.
  5. Funding. The provider disburses funds directly to your business after final approval.

Pause anytime. If the offer doesn't fit your cash flow, you can stop. You are never obligated to accept an offer.

What You'll Need

Most capital providers ask for:

  • 6 months of business bank statements from a U.S.-chartered commercial or retail bank
  • Year-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheet
  • Prior-year business tax return
  • Aging reports (receivables and payables)

A complete file is the single biggest factor in how smoothly your file moves.

Fees

AFG is paid when the bank, lender, or private equity source sends the funds. Success fees apply only to complete files. If the file is incomplete, preparation work is handled under a written advisory retainer, agreed before it begins.

Independent third-party costs, such as due diligence, escrow or legal fees, are disclosed separately in writing when required. They are paid to those professionals, not to AFG.

Strategy call: $297, refunded at funded close. The fee is waived if you upload your documents through the Capital Concierge before the call.

Brokers: you earn 10% of AFG's fee on every closed deal you introduce, including broker-to-broker introductions. It is confirmed in writing and paid via escrow.

Timeline

20 to 120 banking days, starting once the provider confirms your file is complete. File quality, industry and underwriting all affect where your file lands in that range. We'll tell you plainly where you stand.

An Illustrative Example

A digital retail business needs about $400,000 to restock before a seasonal spike. Its bank line covers part of the order but not all of it. The owner wants to keep full ownership. After the file is verified and underwritten, a provider issues a formal offer sized to the business's average monthly revenue. The owner reviews the terms before deciding.

Illustrative only. This is a hypothetical scenario, not a client result, and not a promise of approval, amount or timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a merchant cash advance?

It is revenue-based funding: the amount is tied to your average monthly revenue, and it is not equity. The exact terms are set by the provider and shown in the formal offer before you commit. Those terms include the total cost and how and how often repayment is collected. Read them carefully. If something isn't clear, ask us before you sign. Nothing moves forward without your approval.

I already have advances with daily or weekly payments. Can I still apply?

Tell us about them up front. They show in your bank statements anyway, and providers underwrite against your full picture. Eligibility is the provider's decision. Sometimes new capital would make your cash flow worse, not better. If that's the case, you should hear it before you sign, not after.

Who actually provides the money?

Vetted U.S.-based private capital providers with experience in revenue-based funding. AFG does not lend and never holds your funds. Money moves directly between you and the provider.

How much can I get?

Usually about one month of your average revenue, within the $3,000 to $3,000,000 range, subject to underwriting.

Do I have to give up equity or a board seat?

No. There is no equity, no board seats and no dilution.

Will my phone start ringing nonstop?

We work with a curated set of capital providers and position your file for one suitable provider. We don't send it to everyone who will take it. Verification, not application.

Do you charge an upfront fee to get funded?

AFG is paid when the bank, lender, or private equity source sends the funds. Independent third-party costs are disclosed separately in writing when required and paid to those professionals, not to AFG. The optional strategy call is $297, refunded at funded close and waived when you upload documents through the Capital Concierge first. Be wary of anyone who promises guaranteed approval for a fee.

How long does it take?

20 to 120 banking days, starting once the provider confirms your file is complete.

Can I use statements from a digital bank or fintech platform?

No. Only statements from U.S.-chartered financial institutions are accepted.

Do I have to be a U.S. business?

Yes. This program is only for operating U.S. businesses that generate U.S. revenue. AFG works with clients globally, and other programs may fit businesses outside the U.S.

What if I change my mind?

Pause anytime. You approve every step, and you are never obligated to accept an offer.

It is not a bank, lender, broker-dealer, fund or registered financial adviser and does not hold client funds. All funding decisions and transactions are made independently by the capital providers.
