Revenue-based
Financing

Breaking through ordinary banking for MSMEs

Revenue based financing

Revenue based financing is a cash flow contract to invest in a company in exchange for a predetermined percentage of its future revenue over a specified period.

Flexible 
repayment

RBF offers flexible repayment based on a percentage of revenue, which fluctuates according to the business’s revenue stream. This reduces financial strain during periods of lower revenue.

E-payment
integration

Through integrating with e-payment service solution, repayment can be done automatically through the e-payment solution service provider, allowing more frequent repayment and reducing the entire repayment sum to be incurred.

2. But it will not face immediate repayment demand and threats of liquidation.
