Tech-focused underwriting

  • Lenders analyze SaaS metrics, not just legacy balance sheets.
  • We value recurring revenue contracts as predictable collateral.

No collateral requirements

  • Many options allow for unsecured financing to protect your assets.
  • Keep your physical hardware and proprietary code free from liens.

Transparent partner network

  • We only work with lenders who provide clear repayment schedules.
  • Every offer includes all origination fees and interest rates upfront.
Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Lack of tangible collateral

Banks view software code as intangible and difficult to liquidate during a default event.

We match you with lenders who underwrite based on your monthly revenue flow instead.
02

Irregular revenue cycles

Traditional lenders demand perfectly smooth annual revenue, ignoring project-based spikes.

Our partners specialize in cash flow management for firms with project-based billing.
03

High burn rate concerns

Early-stage startups reinvesting in talent appear unprofitable to standard bank systems.

We prioritize growth metrics and contract pipeline value over historical net profit.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Retail loans rely on brick-and-mortar assets like inventory or real estate. Software firms rely on human capital and recurring contracts. Our lenders specifically underwrite based on SaaS metrics and contract backlogs, often providing decisions within 24 to 48 hours for loan amounts up to $500,000.
