Use cases
Funding acquisitions without dilution
A SaaS company can deploy growth debt to fund strategic acquisitions while maintaining founder control and equity ownership, as demonstrated by portfolio companies acquired post-funding.
Accelerating growth and hiring
A B2B SaaS company with $3M–$10M ARR uses an MRR-based line of credit to fund rapid team expansion and go-to-market initiatives without selling equity.
Bridge financing for the next funding round
A Series B company uses SaaS Capital's debt to extend runway and strengthen financial metrics before closing a larger equity round at higher valuations.
Alternatives
Traditional venture capital
Provides larger capital but dilutes founder ownership and introduces investor governance.
Bank loans
Requires personal guarantees, collateral, and stricter covenants; less flexible for pre-profitability SaaS companies.
Revenue-based financing (RBF)
Monthly payments are a percentage of revenue rather than fixed interest rates, making them more variable and potentially costly at high revenue growth.
