The most tailored debt funding

Whether it’s a payback horizon over multiple years, customizable grace periods, or long-term usage: our funding adapts to your current business and adjusts if your plans change over time.

Individual funding scenario

Our experts build an individual funding plan based on your business, fitting your company’s needs, which allows you to avoid overfunding with excessive capital costs.

Start with €5m,
increase it over time

Initially, get up to €5m debt funding with the option to expand it as needed and deploy your cash efficiently.

Ideal grace periods

From months to multiple years: Customize your ideal grace period to significantly extend your runway to, for example, break even or raise equity to a more favorable time.

Individual payback horizon

Decide how long you’d like to keep the funding from re:cap in your bank account and which period you’d like to pay it back, from 12 months to several years.

Adjustable funding plan

Because businesses change, we believe that funding should be adaptable. With re:cap, you don’t stick to a scenario that was once valid at some point but changed.

How does debt funding from re:cap work?

You get a flexible, non-dilutive credit line of up to £3M, sized to your financial performance and your forecast. There are two ways into the same re:cap facility, both built for growth-focused SMEs.

On the Fast Track, you apply for up to £300k. We assess your bank and accounting data and approve it or not, usually within about a week. No business plan, no funding plan, a single drawdown.

On the Tailored Track, you get up to £3M, built around a funding plan we create together. It matches financing to your capital needs, your business model, the specific use case, and your growth goals, with possibly several tranches and a personal contact. The Tailored Track needs more data and usually multiple weeks.

Once your funding is approved, you draw against it as agreed. Every drawdown, repayment, and adjustment happens in one place, the Capital OS, so you always know how much capital you have, what it costs, and how it supports your growth.

What are the costs of debt funding from re:cap?

Your interest rate and cost of capital depends on your rating on the platform.

What is the timeline to receive funding?

Customers have received funding from us in as little as two weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly you complete the funding process, which hinges on providing the necessary financial and business data promptly.

Once the funding process is done and your funding approved by us, the funds will typically arrive in your bank accounts within two business days.

For which companies is funding from re:cap relevant for?

re:cap is relevant for companies with the following criteria:

  • You operate within the EU or UK.
  • You are a B2B company from the digital economy and are technology-led.
  • You have predictable revenue streams based on recurring buying behavior.
  • You have proven product-market-fit.
  • You generate a minimum of €250K annual revenue.
  • You have a runway of at least 6 months, with your business either nearing break-even or already profitable.
What does the funding process look like?

This depends on which track you chose: the Fast Track or Tailored Track. Both tracks run on the same re:cap platform. What differs is the amount, the data needed, and the speed: Fast Track up to £300k in about a week, Tailored Track up to £3M in about four weeks.

1. Create an account and connect your data
Create an account, enter your funding need and use case, and securely connect your bank accounts. This lets us analyse your liquidity. For the Fast Track, your bank and accounting data is enough. For the Tailored Track, we also take a look at your customer and invoice data as well as business plan, so we understand your goals and how you'll use the funding.

2. Funding plan or direct confirmation (only Tailored Track)
On the Tailored Track, we schedule a meeting after the first review of your data and build your funding plan together, with a personal contact: how much capital you need, when it has to be available, and the costs involved. On the Fast Track, this step falls away. We assess your data and confirm your amount directly, with no business plan and no funding plan.

3. Sign the term sheet (only Tailored Track)
You receive a term sheet with your terms. You can use the term sheet for your internal decision-making. We're here for any questions along the way.

4. Due diligence begins (only Tailored Track)
Once the term sheet is signed, we start due diligence. We analyse risks and review your banking, accounting, revenue, and customer data, along with key business metrics. +

5. Request your payout
After successful due diligence, for the Tailored Track, or after our automatic analysis of your business, for the Fast Track, you request your funding via the re:cap platform. On the Fast Track you draw a single tranche. On the Tailored Track it's the first of possibly several tranches across the term of your credit line.

What is the repayment time?

re:cap provides flexible repayment terms, ranging from 1 month up to 5 years, including grace periods.

What data do I need to provide?

It depends on your track. For the Fast Track, we need your bank and accounting data. For the Tailored Track, revenue and customer data come on top, plus a look at your business plan. In both cases, view-only access is enough, which you connect securely through the platform. That's how we offer you the best possible funding terms.

For both tracks

All business bank accounts and payment service providers

  • We use your bank account data to analyse and review your company's cash flows at an aggregated level.
  • You connect all accounts securely with the platform and give us view-only access. If we don't support your bank yet, let us know and you can provide the data manually.

Accounting data

  • We use your accounting data to analyse and verify your company's financial situation.
  • You can upload the data manually in Excel or CSV format.

Additionally for the Tailored Track

Revenue and customer data

  • We use your customer data to identify your contracts and revenue streams and sync them with the platform.
  • You connect your subscription management tool securely via view-only access (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, Chargify, Zuora, billwerk, etc.). If we don't support your tool, get in touch.
  • If you use your own solution, you can upload the data manually in Excel or CSV format.

Business plan

  • We use your business plan to understand your goals and how you'll use the funding, and to build your funding plan together with you.
Why does re:cap need the data?

We need the data to assess your funding terms. Based on your data, we can verify that re:cap is a fit for your business. Assessing this data will help us with our risk analysis. We can determine the terms for your company.

Can I also connect my account with EBICS?

No, EBICS is not a generally accepted standard for open banking. You can provide data for those bank accounts manually.

I don’t work with a subscription management tool, can I nevertheless get funded?

Yes, manual data upload is possible. We provide a spreadsheet template you can use.

However, we recommend subscription tools, as it keeps efforts lower and processes are faster.

Are there any personal guarantees, convertibles, or equity warrants?

No, we don’t ask for personal guarantees or equity warrants. Our funding is 100% non-dilutive. You stay in control.

How does re:cap compare to Venture Capital?

The VC fundraising process is slow, tying up your team for months. It comes with hefty direct costs for legal fees and consultants, often reaching six figures. Indirectly, it means losing control, as major investors demand board seats and require ongoing investor relations. Most critically, you give up equity – one of the most valuable assets of a founder.

re:cap offers a different path. We don’t ask for shares, board seats, or a say in your company. We provide fast, non-dilutive funding with ticket sizes starting at £50K up to £3M. However, unlike equity, re:cap requires repayment.

How does re:cap compare to Venture Debt?

Most venture debt funds require companies to raise at least £3M. They often ask for warrants, leading to dilution, secure all available assets as collateral, and may demand board seats. On top of that, capital is rarely disbursed in full upfront. Future tranches depend on hitting milestones, and you might be forced to take more funding even if you no longer need it.

re:cap offers a simpler solution. Within days, we provide you with a flexible funding limit. You decide how much capital you need with a single click – no warrants, no collateral, no board seats. We handle ticket sizes starting from £50K and going up to £3M.

Can I combine re:cap with other forms of funding?

Yes, from our end it's possible to combine re:cap with other forms of funding, such as bank loans, venture debt, venture capital, or private equity.

Can I get funding if my company is part of a group structure?

We can finance companies being part of a group structure. However, we must be sure that they are the actual contracting partner. In some cases a letter from the company could be necessary. We are happy to discuss with you your individual situation.
