VisionPLUS

VisionPLUS, written Vision+, finances internet businesses, software-as-a-service firms and apps. Instead of buying shares, it advances money that is repaid from a share of the revenue the business generates. This is meant to let owners grow without diluting existing shareholders.

What VisionPLUS offers

• Revenue-share financing — repayment as royalties from the resulting cash flow, set case by case.
• Conversion option — the advance may convert to equity after a minimum multiple, which ends the royalty.
• Commercial funding — a preference for financing sales, marketing and commercialisation.
• Introductions — help finding new partners and customers.
• Simple contracts — quick decisions and a plain contract structure.

Who it works with

Entrepreneurs running SaaS, app and internet businesses, and occasionally content IP deals. One example is GameRefinery, a game analytics platform.

Key facts

• Target payback: around two years or sooner
• Model: royalty-based, non-dilutive
