Our services come with no upfront fees, no break fees and no strings attached. TULA is compensated upon successful funding – we’re invested in your success. However, a small onboarding fee does apply.
The right financing for your startup
Collaboratively, we assess your capital needs and identify the best financing solution tailored to your business model and current startup situation.
Venture Capital
Venture capital is a form of private equity financing that is provided to startups and early-stage companies with strong growth potential. Investors, known as venture capitalists, provide funding in exchange for equity ownership, often taking an active role in the company’s development.
Venture Debt
Venture debt is a type of debt financing provided to early-stage companies, typically alongside or following a venture capital investment. This form of financing offers capital without further diluting ownership, but it usually comes with higher interest rates and warrants that may convert to equity.
Revenue-based Financing
Revenue-based financing is a funding method where investors provide capital to a business in exchange for a percentage of the company’s ongoing gross revenues. This model aligns the repayment schedule with the company’s revenue streams, reducing the burden during slow periods and increasing it during growth.
Subscription-based Financing
Subscription-based financing is a recurring investment model where investors provide funds to a company on a regular basis, such as monthly or annually, often in exchange for equity or debt securities. This method can provide businesses with a predictable and continuous source of capital, aligning investors’ interests with long-term growth.
Asset-based Financing
Asset-based financing is a loan or line of credit secured by a company’s tangible or intangible assets, such as inventory, accounts receivable, or equipment. This provides businesses with immediate cash flow, allowing them to leverage existing assets while typically paying a higher interest rate due to the perceived risk.
Factoring
Factoring is a financial transaction where a company sells its accounts receivable to a third party (the factor) at a discount. This allows the company to receive immediate cash and transfer the responsibility of collecting the debt, but often at the cost of a reduced profit margin due to the discounting and fees involved.
