Non-Dilutive Growth Funding from Cypress...
More Than Just Capital
What is royalty-based growth capital?
An alternative to equity, royalty-based growth capital provides funding in exchange for a fixed percentage of your company’s future monthly revenues. The terms are simple: when the sum of the monthly royalty payments reaches a predetermined cap, the obligation is complete.
-
Preserve Equity
Royalty-based growth capital is structured as flexible debt allowing you to access the capital you need without giving up valuable equity -
Retain Control
For the business owner who wants to keep his or her company closely held, we never require a board seat or other control provisions typical of equity investments -
Payback Flexibility
Royalty-based growth capital is friendly to your cash flow due to its adaptive payment structure. The actual dollar amount you pay each month automatically adjusts with your company’s revenue performance -
Aligned Incentives
Our capital approach does not require a liquidity event for success. Each investment is tailored as flexible, long-term debt with entrepreneur-friendly features specifically designed for emerging companies
