betterbanc offers investment capital with offers ranging from $5k to $250k through a revenue share agreement. We charge a flat between 6-15% fee on our capital with repayments in line with daily or monthly revenues, taken as a percentage of sales. This is not an interest rate. We don’t take equity, personal guarantees, warrants, or hidden fees. The amount accessible is based purely on your actual business performance.
Unlike venture capital, betterbanc gives founders the opportunity to raise growth capital without giving up control of their business. Equity is one of the most expensive ways of raising working capital, but many founders are also wary of subjecting their businesses to the interest rates of traditional debt. That’s why our funding offers a fair and flexible alternative that’s better for founders
There is no fee to apply for an advance. There is a fixed fee associated with every advance which is decided based on your overall business health. It has no periodic nor compounding interest. You will know exactly how much you are paying up front before you accept the offer and that fee will never increase throughout the repayment process.
The flat fee is based on the data analyzed. We take your revenue data, business metrics, and market data into consideration when determining your unique offer and the fee associated with it.
To qualify, you must fit into the below criteria:

Yes, our funding can scale with your business. If your company has grown significantly, contact your account manager to discuss your options.
We understand that your business will fluctuate from month to month, so our repayments are tied to your sales. We agree a percentage of revenue with you, which you will then share with us until the advance and flat fee is repaid. This means that if the market slows or your sales drop, your repayments will drop too
We will automatically collect the repayments, either by connecting to your payment processor or by direct debit so you don’t need to worry about remembering.The repayment percentage is decided when negotiating the terms of your advance. We typically take 5% to 25% of future revenue to keep cash flow in your day to day operations. We work with you to determine a rate that will be acceptable for everyone.
Repayments will begin on the date agreed on your Offer Letter. This is typically the 2-3 days after you receive the investment in your bank account.
Most businesses share 5-25% of future revenues. We’ll agree the final percentage individually based on your budget and business needs.
