Uncapped RBF fixes your total repayment at origination. No equity.
No royalty in perpetuity. Once the payback multiple is reached, the lender's claim ends permanently.
The Origin of "Uncapped" in Revenue-Based Financing
Early forms of revenue-based financing included equity kickers — small ownership stakes taken alongside the revenue share. Some structures included repayment caps tied to revenue multiples that could run for years.
Modern uncapped RBF eliminates both. No equity.
No open-ended royalty. The deal terminates when a fixed dollar amount — defined at origination — is repaid in full.
The "uncapped" distinction is most relevant for businesses considering the product versus equity investment. An investor takes a percentage of your company indefinitely.
An uncapped RBF lender takes a percentage of revenue temporarily — until a defined total is reached, then nothing.
For Twin Falls operators building long-term equity in their businesses, this distinction is not semantic. It determines whether a financing partner becomes a permanent stakeholder or a transient creditor.
How the Fixed Payback Structure Protects You in High-Growth Scenarios
The protection of uncapped RBF is most visible during high-revenue months. If you deploy capital from a $100,000 advance and your revenue doubles, a percentage-based royalty investor captures the upside with you — indefinitely.
In uncapped RBF, higher revenue accelerates payoff. You finish repaying the fixed $135,000 (at 1.35x factor) faster.
The lender does not capture any additional upside beyond the agreed total.
| Scenario | Equity Investor (5% revenue share) | Uncapped RBF (1.35x factor, 10% remittance) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue doubles post-funding | Investor earns more — indefinitely | Payoff accelerates — lender earns same total |
| Revenue stable | Investor earns steady share — indefinitely | Payoff on schedule — lender earns fixed total |
| Revenue declines | Investor earns less — retains stake | Payoff extends — lender earns same total |
Reading the Term Sheet: Key Clauses in Uncapped RBF Agreements
Understanding what you are signing is non-negotiable. Three clauses define the terms of any uncapped RBF agreement.
- Factor rate: The fixed multiplier applied to the advance. A 1.35x factor on $100,000 = $135,000 total payback. Non-negotiable after signing.
- Remittance rate: The percentage of monthly revenue collected for repayment. Typically 5%–20%. Determines repayment pace, not total cost.
- Reconciliation clause: Your right to request a remittance adjustment if actual revenue falls below the calculation baseline. Absent this clause, you may be locked into a higher payment than your actual revenue supports.
Verify all three before signing. A competitive factor rate with no reconciliation clause is a worse deal than a higher factor rate with robust adjustment rights.

Check Capital Eligibility →Frequently Asked Questions
'Uncapped' refers to the absence of a repayment ceiling tied to equity or revenue multiples. The total repayment is a fixed multiple of the advance amount — once reached, repayment ends regardless of how much revenue the business generates.
No. Uncapped refers to the repayment structure's relationship to equity and ownership — not an absence of a total payback figure. Every RBF agreement specifies a fixed total payback amount at origination.
Unlike equity financing, uncapped RBF does not grant the investor a permanent share of future revenue or ownership. Once the agreed payback is reached, the lender's claim on your revenue ends completely.
Payback multiples (factor rates) typically range from 1.20x to 1.50x the advance amount. The factor rate is fixed at origination and does not change based on revenue performance.
The reconciliation clause gives you the right to request a remittance adjustment if actual revenue falls below the baseline used for repayment calculation. Without it, you may face payments that exceed your actual cash flow capacity.
Multiply the advance amount by the factor rate to get the total payback amount. For example: $100,000 advance x 1.35 factor = $135,000 total repayment.
The annualized cost depends on how quickly you repay.
