What is SaaS financing?

SaaS financing is a specific funding option for companies that offer Software-as-a-Service or have a subscription-based business model. 

Usually, SaaS companies derive income from recurring sources, typically as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) or Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). Scaling revenue in a SaaS company often depends on expanding the customer base, requiring sufficient capital for business growth. 

Given the consistent and predictable revenue streams of SaaS companies, several new funding instruments have emerged to meet their requirements. re:cap is one of these providers offering financing specifically made for SaaS companies.

Which SaaS KPIs are most relevant for a first evaluation of a SaaS company?

Efficiency-related KPIs play a vital role for early-stage companies that have already achieved profitability. These metrics underscore the significance of effective cost management and scalability, aligning with the stability of their established business model. 

On the other hand, early-stage companies that are loss-making, usually focus on growth-oriented KPIs. These metrics concentrate on expansion and seizing market share as part of the strategy to attain profitability. 

The most relevant KPIs for evaluating the performance of a SaaS company include:

  • MRR Growth Rate
  • Customer Concentration
  • Net Dollar Retention
  • Burn Multiple
  • CLTV-to-CAC ratio
  • Gross Profit Margin
