What does the re:cap Funding process look like?

1. Get started

Create your account, enter your use case and funding amount, and securely connect your bank account for a liquidity assessment. Besides, share your business plan so we can understand your needs and how you'll use the funds.

2. Alignment on the funding plan

After our first review, we’ll schedule a meeting and align on a funding plan together. It shows how much capital you need, when it should be available, and the cost of capital.

3. Sign the term sheet

We share a term sheet with you outlining your desired funding plan. You can use the term sheet for your internal decision-making. We are here to answer questions any time.

4. Due diligence begins

Once the term sheet is signed, the due diligence starts. We’re doing a risk analysis of your business, reviewing bank, accounting, revenue and customer data, and key business metrics (e.g., ARR, industry).

After successful due diligence, you can request your funding via the re:cap platform – the first payout happens within 2 business days.

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?

To provide the best possible funding terms to you we need access to:

Bank accounts and other payment providers

  • The bank account data allows us to assess and verify the cash flows of your business on an aggregated level.
  • You can securely connect all of your accounts for view-only access. If we don’t support your bank yet, let us know and you can provide the data manually.

Revenue and customer data

  • The subscription data allows us to identify your contracts as well as your revenues streams and sync them to our funding platform.
  • You can securely connect the subscription management tool of your choice for view-only access (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, chargify, zuora, billwerk, etc.). If we do not support your tool, just let us know.
  • If you are using a custom tool, you can upload the data manually in Excel- or CSV-format.

Accounting data

  • The accounting data allows us to assess and verify the financial situation of your business.
  • You can upload the data manually in Excel- or CSV-format.
Why does re:cap need the data?

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 financing terms for your business.

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 very simply structured spreadsheet template. However, we recommend subscription tools, as it keeps efforts lower and processes are faster.

Are there any personal guarantees, convertibles, or equity warrants for founders or CEOs?

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

How does re:cap Funding 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 Funding 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, scaling to millions. Funding can be secured in less than 48 hours. However, unlike equity, re:cap Funding requires repayment.

How does re:cap Funding compare to Venture Debt?

Most venture debt funds require companies to raise at least €3 million. 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, and the funds arrive within 48 hours – no warrants, no collateral, no board seats. We handle ticket sizes starting from €50k and going up to millions.

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

Yes, from re:cap’s side it is possible to combine re:cap with other forms of funding, such as traditional 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.
