Nice to meet you!
Streamlined access to non-dilutive capital for qualified SaaS companies
Lending to SaaS companies is our singular focus. Our underwriting processes and our products are attuned to the needs of your business.
Work with the SaaS Capital® team and experience:
- A transparent process tailored to SaaS businesses.
- Credit facilities with more availability and fewer restrictions.
- Quick decisions for qualified businesses; current venture-backing not required.
- Access to SaaS expertise and a decade worth of research data.
Approach
SaaS Capital pioneered alternative lending to SaaS. Since 2007 we have spoken to thousands of companies, reviewed hundreds of financials, and funded 100+ companies. We can make quick decisions. The typical time from first “hello” to funding is just 5 weeks.
Product
Debt can be a powerful growth tool for SaaS companies. Properly structured, credit facilities can minimize dilution, while availability grows as the business scales. Our MRR line-of-credit offers high capital availability, few covenants, and long commitment periods.
Criteria
SaaS Capital funds “scale-up” SaaS companies with $3 million or more in ARR. Companies do not need to be profitable or venture-backed to qualify, but they do need to have a solid history of retention.
We like to write things for you.

What's Your SaaS Company Worth?
Private B2B SaaS companies are typically valued using a multiple of annualized recurring revenue (ARR) but determining the correct multiple to apply is difficult. We provide a data-driven, statistically backed methodology for determining a baseline valuation multiple from a company’s ARR growth rate and net revenue retention, and the current level of the SaaS Capital Index, which is published by SaaS Capital®. A full formula, as well as an Excel spreadsheet and summary table, are provided for your convenience.

2025 Benchmarking Metrics for Bootstrapped SaaS Companies
SaaS Capital works with both VC-backed and bootstrapped SaaS companies and has seen the advantages of both approaches. However, one situation that is especially interesting is bootstrapped SaaS companies with $3M to $20M in Annualized Run Rate Revenue (ARR). Growing from a pre-revenue startup to $3M (scale-up phase) marks a significant shift and bootstrapping from $3M to $20M creates enormous value for owners. To help support bootstrappers during their scale-up, we wanted to focus on 2025 benchmarking metrics for scale-up stage bootstrapped SaaS companies.
