Once the cap is reached. With $47,500 funded at a 1.30 cap, payments stop when $61,750 has been repaid, however long that takes.

Which revenue-based financing questions do Seattle owners raise?
Can I pay off revenue-based funding early?
Ask before you sign. With a cap of 1.30, the total stays the same whether you repay fast or slow, unless the funder offers a discount.
What happens to RBF payments when sales stop?
The payment is a share of revenue, so a month with very low revenue brings a very low payment. The cap stays the same.
Are clothing and accessories stores in Seattle eligible for revenue-based financing?
Many are, because they run on register and online card sales. Funders still decide each file on bank deposits and time in business.
