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 60+ 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.
