Common Questions

When does specialty finance make sense?

Specialty finance works when traditional debt doesn't fit—specific asset types (equipment, IP), unique cash flow patterns (revenue-based), or situations requiring non-dilutive capital faster than equity rounds. Often complements primary facilities rather than replacing them.

How does revenue-based financing differ from debt?

Revenue-based financing has no fixed payments or maturity date—repayment scales with revenue performance. If revenues decline, payments decline proportionally. Total repayment is capped at 1.3-1.8x capital advanced. No personal guarantees or restrictive covenants like traditional debt.

Is factoring expensive compared to bank financing?

Factoring costs 12-36% annually (1-3% per 30 days), higher than bank lines. However, it requires no collateral beyond receivables, closes in weeks not months, and provides immediate cash. For companies unable to access bank credit or needing speed, factoring delivers valuable liquidity despite higher cost.

How does TULA get compensated?

Specialty lenders pay TULA success fees upon closing—you never pay us directly. Our compensation aligns perfectly with yours: we only succeed when you secure optimal specialty financing meeting your specific requirements.
