Why CEOs & CFOs Choose Revenue-Based Financing To Raise Capital

BETTER BY DESIGN

For many entrepreneurs, a revenue-based financing firm like Decathlon offers a dramatically better alternative to traditional equity-based funding approaches.

REVENUE-BASED FINANCING BENEFITS

NO DILUTION

No dilution for company stakeholders and no requirement for warrants.  Keep all the value you create.

NO LOSS OF CONTROL

No conversion, redemption, or governance rights that could alter your control of the business. It’s your company and it should stay that way.

NO UNSOLICITED INVOLVEMENT

No unsolicited involvement in your company’s operations or on your board.  We provide help and advice when you want it, and silent support when you don’t.

NO PERSONAL GUARANTEES

No personal guarantee or stock-pledge requirements, enabling you to keep your personal and commercial interests separate.

NO RESTRICTIVE FINANCIAL COVENANTS

No requirement to maintain certain financial ratios or operate your business around pre-set financial parameters. Retain your ability to make sound operating decisions without any loss of agility due to financial covenant constraints.

NO COST FOR UNDRAWN CAPITAL

No facility fees or other hidden expenses that indirectly increase your cost of capital.  Benefit from the security of knowing you have access to growth capital without any incremental expense for unused capital.

LONG-TERM USE OF CAPITAL

Invest in the long-term growth of your business without any short-term constraints or repayment requirements.  Create value for your stakeholders by freeing your company from the limitations of funding tied only to your current balance sheet.

EFFICIENT & TRANSPARENT PROCESS

Avoid wasting time and effort on unstructured equity fundraising discussions with ambiguous timelines. Benefit from a crisp process with concrete feedback, transparent terms and clear visibility on your path to closed funding.

ACCESS TO FUTURE FUNDING

Take the capital you need, when you need it.  As your company grows, you can access additional capital funding via a simple process to expand your funding package. Decathlon is the revenue-based financing firm for growing enterprises because we make the process easy!
