Scale, fund & exit

Klub, GetVantage or Velocity - which RBF platform is actually right for my brand?

The short answer

All three do the same core thing - non-dilutive capital repaid as a share of revenue - but they differ on minimum revenue history, ticket size and how fast they disburse; GetVantage typically wants 12 months of revenue and $6,000+ MRR, Velocity funds up to ₹4 crore with a 5-10% revenue share, and Klub's ticket sizes range from ₹2 lakh to ₹30 crore. Get quotes from at least two before you pick, because the effective cost (fee cap, tenure, and how they treat a slow month) varies more than the marketing pages let on. Match the lender to your use case: short inventory cycles want fast disbursal, ongoing ad spend wants a longer, flexible facility.
