Knowing Better, Growing Faster 

Our Upfront Capitalâ„¢ product is designed for B2B SaaS and tech companies with the following financial characteristics:

  • Minimum $350k revenue and targeting profitability
  • 10%+ YoY revenue growth
  • Predictable revenue
  • Seeking at least $100k in funding

One of the advantages of our financing is that it is very flexible and useful across many stages of a company’s growth.

Novel’s funding is a great fit whether you’re a bootstrapped company, have prior angel or VC investment, are looking to bridge to a round, or want to include it as part of your current fundraise.

At Novel Capital, we work with founders who are seeking capital targeted at accelerating revenue growth or supporting working capital needs, rather than strictly for R&D.

We may provide a committed capital line up to 40% of your annual revenue.

We provide entrepreneurs between $100k and $5m to fuel their growth. Additional capital is easily unlocked as your company continues to grow.

Our process is transparent and simple; there are no personal guarantees, covenants, or warrants required. Unlike venture debt, we don’t require the companies we invest in to be venture-backed. You can continue to get capital on demand as you continue to grow.

We also understand that you may have other investors who have provided you capital. Your company and IP are never at risk with Novel.

While companies that have MRR and ARR fit our model well, it is not a requirement for our financing. We work well with companies that have both recurring and one-time revenues.

We know you have better things to do than spend months fundraising. You can receive capital in-hand within 30 days of your completed application.

This team is easy to work with, they go above & beyond to understand your business needs and craft an agreement that works for you.

Brent Cosgrove

CFO

I had a client that needed cash immediately. Novel's team worked with me to make sure the cash arrived in time. The process was easy as they used most of our schedules already prepared which made it easy for us to provide information quickly. The money arrived with a week to spare.

Patrick T Irvine 

Co-Founder

We have worked with Novel for two years now and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. The team is responsive, the terms are fair, and the technology is top notch.
The one issue I had from coming out of the first year was reporting, which has been addressed and remedied.
