The owner of a commercial kitchen in Hewitt had just wrapped the spring wedding rush and wanted to add two blast chillers before summer corporate events picked up. Banks wanted two years of tax returns and a lien on her home. Instead, she called Scarletgate Financial at (254) 514-5209. We connected her with a revenue based lender who advanced capital against her projected event deposits. Each week, 8 percent of credit-card batches automatically repaid the advance, high during peak season, lower when bookings slowed. Within 90 days the chillers were installed, and she never missed a payroll cycle.
Revenue based financing, often called RBF or business funding based on revenue, advances a lump sum today in exchange for a percentage of future gross receipts until a agreed-upon cap is reached. Unlike traditional term loans, there is no fixed monthly due date; the repayment floats with your sales velocity. This structure works well for restaurants along Valley Mills Drive, retail shops in downtown Waco's Heritage Square, and service providers in Woodway who see seasonal swings but maintain steady card volume year-round.
Because Scarletgate Financial operates as a broker, we compare offers from multiple revenue based financing companies rather than lending our own capital. That means you see options side by side, and we help you choose the structure that fits your cash-flow calendar.
Revenue based lenders typically look for:
- Minimum monthly revenue: often around four figures in credit-card or ACH sales over the past three months. - Time in business: at least six months of operating history, though some programs accept newer ventures in Robinson or Bellmead with strong early traction. - Sales consistency: steady deposit patterns matter more than pristine credit scores. - Business type: retail, hospitality, healthcare practices, and e-commerce convert well; heavy-equipment contractors with lumpy invoice cycles may fit better into invoice factoring in Waco, TX.
You do not need real estate or machinery to pledge. Revenue based business funding treats your future sales stream as the collateral.
Who we serve
Local businesses deploy revenue based business loans to:
1. Bridge seasonal gaps before the Baylor University fall semester drives foot traffic back to shops near campus. 2. Stock inventory for holiday peaks without tying up a traditional business line of credit in Waco, TX. 3. Fund marketing sprints when a new competitor opens in Lacy-Lakeview or Elm Mott. 4. Cover payroll during a temporary dip while waiting on a large municipal contract to close.
Because repayment scales with sales, you avoid the cash-flow crunch that fixed payments can create during slow weeks.
How it works
Step 1: Gather three months of bank or processor statements. We need to see deposit velocity, no need for appraisals or UCC searches yet.
Step 2: Call our Woodway office at (254) 514-5209. Our address is 108 Topeka Dr, Woodway, TX 76712, Waco, TX. We will walk through your revenue pattern and match you to revenue based lending partners who serve McLennan County.
Step 3: Receive term sheets within 48 hours. Compare the percentage withheld, the payback cap, and any daily or weekly remittance schedules.
Step 4: Choose your offer and sign electronically. Funds typically arrive within one business week, fast enough to catch time-sensitive opportunities in Beverly Hills or Hallsburg.
Step 5: Repayments begin automatically. The lender connects to your payment processor or bank account and withdraws the agreed percentage each business day or week.

Revenue based financing companies care less about tax transcripts and more about transaction logs. Bring:
- Last 90 days of merchant-processor statements (Square, Clover, Stripe, or similar). - A voided check or recent bank statement showing deposits. - A brief description of what you will use the funds for.
That is often enough for underwriting. If the lender also wants to review your balance sheet, common when the advance exceeds mid-five figures, we will guide you through that checklist during your call.
