About re:cap in general.
With re:cap, companies with recurring revenues get access to a modern way of debt financing. It is tailored to the needs of each business, non-dilutive, and without any restrictions. On top, companies can benchmark their financial metrics against their competition. They can find areas in which they are outperforming their peers and are able to identify areas they need to improve.
re:cap is suited for all growth-focused companies based in Germany or the Netherlands, already generating recurring revenues, for example, software companies. Whether VC-backed or bootstrapped, small or large – our non-dilutive, on-demand financing solution works for you.
Creating an account is free of charge. As part of the onboarding process, you will get information about your current financing limit and financing conditions. Additionally, with re:cap benchmarking we provide you deep insights about your financial KPIs and performance.
In short: there is no reason not to sign up!
You can get up to 60 % of your current ARR in upfront capital.
Simply create an account to get access to our funding and benchmarking platform.
On the one hand, you can use re:cap funding as a financing line within which you draw multiple fundings. To do so, we create financing scenarios that help your company get money when it actually needs it – without risking unnecessary capital costs due to overfunding.
On the other hand, you can monitor and steer your financial KPIs with re:cap benchmarking. You get a better overview of your financial health and unit economics, benchmark yourself with your peer group, and receive actionable strategies to improve your metrics.
The VC fundraising process takes months and ties up internal resources. It comes with both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs appear for legal and external consultants, which quickly sum up to six-digit figures. Indirect costs arise from less control over your company because at least the major investors require board seats and investor relations management on an ongoing basis. And most importantly, you need to give up some of your equity, the most valuable stake founders have.
In comparison, re:cap is not interested in shares, co-determination, or board seats. re:cap is cost efficient, non-dilutive, quick, and can offer smaller financing ticket sizes (from EUR 10k upwards to millions). Financing is possible within 48 hours and does not require any consultants. However, re:cap financing requires repayment in contrast to equity.
We believe it is essential for companies to build their capital structure on multiple pillars to reduce dependencies and maintain operational control. The current market circumstances make the predictability of follow-up equity funding much harder.

Getting venture debt is often even more complex and costly than raising an equity financing round (see above). Most venture debt funds require a minimum financing amount of EUR 3m. Venture debt funds often ask for warrants with respective dilution, collateralize all available securities, and may also ask for board seats. Furthermore, capital may not be provided in one tranche, future disbursements are connected to the achievement of milestones, and you may be forced to draw additional tranches even though you may no longer need them.
re:cap provides you with a financing limit within days. You can choose how much capital you want with one click and receive the money 48 hours later. We request no warrants, collateral, or board seats and can do ticket sizes from EUR 10k up to millions.
The financing limit grows with your customer base, and you can disburse the capital you need – no overfunding of cash in banks is necessary.

Based on your capital needs and business plan, we can provide you with different funding scenarios that help your company get money when it actually needs it – without risking unnecessary capital costs due to overfunding.

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.
