Understanding repayment terms
Repayment terms describe the cadence, source, and duration of payments back to the lender. Understanding repayment is just as important as understanding the rate, because it determines how the financing actually feels inside your business week to week.
What "repayment" really refers to
Some products repay on a fixed monthly schedule. Others pull a small amount daily or weekly via ACH. Revenue-based financing collects a percentage of incoming sales. Invoice financing is settled as your customers pay. Each cadence has a different impact on operating cash flow.
A product with a strong headline rate can still be a poor fit if its repayment cadence does not match how revenue arrives in your business. We help you stress-test repayment against your real cash conversion cycle before you commit.
What repayment tells you about a financing offer
- The frequency of payments — daily, weekly, monthly, or event-driven
- The source of payment — operating account, locked-box, or receivable settlement
- The total term and any prepayment, early-payoff, or renewal mechanics
- How a slow month affects the obligation
What to ask a funding partner
- — Does this repayment cadence match how revenue actually arrives in my business?
- — What happens if I have a slow month or seasonal dip?
- — Is there a benefit to paying early, or a penalty?
