How is revenue-based financing structured?
Revenue-based financing is a lump sum paid back as a set share of monthly revenue until a set total, the cap, is reached; the example below uses 6% of revenue.
What will a funder ask for?
Margins and revenue history first, then time in business and existing obligations.
How does the payment track the seasons?
The payment shrinks with revenue. At 6% of sales, a month 30% under average sends $3,696, so a restaurant keeps more cash in the months when revenue dips.
Which local trades get the most from revenue-based financing?
Among these trades, restaurants have the most locations in Pasadena: 375. The city's employers are mostly small: 4,323 have fewer than five employees.

| Clothing and accessories stores | 75 | 5.5 | 3.5 |

Tourist seasons, holidays and the weather make a restaurant's months uneven; the payment follows revenue down and up. In the city, 375 operate, or 5.4% of employer companies.
What makes clothing and accessories stores a fit?
Lean months from holiday shopping and seasonal changeovers cost a clothing store less under a revenue share. The city counts 75, at 1.6x the U.S. density.
How do local online retailers use revenue-based financing?
For an online store, revenue tracks sales events, holidays and ad results, so the payment does too. Pasadena counts 43 of them, 0.6% of local employers.
How would the numbers look for a restaurant?
Take a restaurant with $88,000 in an average month. Revenue-based financing of $44,000 with a 1.25 cap means $55,000 is repaid in all, at 6% of monthly revenue. An average month sends $5,280; a month 30% below average sends $3,696, and an equally strong month on the upside sends $6,864.
| Example item | Value |
|---|---|
| Average monthly revenue (example) | $88,000 |
| Amount funded | $44,000 |
| Cap | 1.25 |
| Total repaid | $55,000 |
| Revenue share | 6% |
| Payment in an average month | $5,280 |
| Payment 30% below average | $3,696 |
| Payment 30% above average | $6,864 |
| Months to repay at average | 10.4 |
Which numbers decide the cost?
The cap sets the total and the revenue share sets the pace. A lower cap is a cheaper deal; a lower share stretches the payments over more months. The factor rate calculator lets you test other amounts.
