Gone are the days when the only source of growth capital was to sell equity to investors. In recent years, more options have become available for growth finance.

The growth of revenue-based finance provides options for SaaS founders to finance their business by using their revenue as collateral for a loan. These loan options are usually repaid with a percentage of monthly revenue at a set cost. As a result, SaaS companies can leverage recurring revenue with venture debt to grow their business without dilution of their equity held in the business.
