Quick answer
Revenue-based business financing — landscaping businesses
Revenue-based structures can link payments to receipts, but terms differ. Read how sales are measured, whether a fixed debit is used and how adjustments are requested.
Model low-revenue periods and any reconciliation procedure in the written contract. A revenue-related label does not guarantee payments automatically decrease. Weather and seasonal contracts affect collections while crews and equipment still cost money. Separate recurring maintenance revenue from one-time installation jobs.

Before you apply
Build the request around the expense.
Model low-revenue periods and any reconciliation procedure in the written contract. A revenue-related label does not guarantee payments automatically decrease. Weather and seasonal contracts affect collections while crews and equipment still cost money. Separate recurring maintenance revenue from one-time installation jobs.
Write down the cash needed, when it must be paid and when the business expects to collect the receipts that support repayment. Separate confirmed amounts from assumptions.
Compare the alternatives.
Compare the remittance formula, total purchased amount, fees and reconciliation rights. Do not treat a factor rate as an APR.
Test a delayed collection or weaker-sales scenario. A proposal that only works in the strongest sales week needs another look.

Offer checklist
Compare the full obligation.
| Ask for | Why it matters | Check before signing |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash received | Gross funding can include fees or payoffs. | How much reaches your account? |
| Total amount owed | A payment amount alone does not show full cost. | Include all required charges. |
| Payment schedule | Daily, weekly and monthly schedules affect cash differently. | Test against actual collection dates. |
| Guarantees and security | Business and personal obligations can differ. | Read the agreement and ask about liens. |
| Early payoff or adjustment | Paying early does not always reduce cost. | Get the relevant formula in writing. |

Bank and processor statements, revenue by channel and existing deductions. Service contracts, seasonal cash forecast, crew payroll and equipment quotes.
