We're incredibly excited to announce that Ratio has secured $411M to fuel the transformation of B2B financing.
The global revenue-based financing market size is projected to reach over $42MM by 2027. And why not? Recurring Revenue Financing (RRF) is, after all, a compelling alternative for businesses looking to secure quick growth capital without the drawbacks of traditional financing.
SaaS companies facing high burn rates and limited working capital should aim to target a 12- to 18-month runway to effectively manage their accelerated cash consumption. To maintain financial stability, businesses often turn to traditional funding options such as venture capital or loans, which can be fiercely competitive and come with strings attached.
In today's dynamic B2B financial landscape, offering flexible payment options isn't just a convenience—it's a necessity. The reason is the surging demand for subscription-based payments. However, while offering payment flexibility opens doors to improved client relationships and cash flow management, it isn't without challenges. A mishap in introducing or managing these flexible payment solutions can potentially eat into as much as 10% of a business’s monthly revenue.
With the global economic outlook growing gloomier, enterprises are looking to tighten their belts. Forecasting is a vital capability for today’s SaaS companies. Reliable and up-to-date data is essential if SaaS leaders are to make smart decisions, drive enduring growth, and win over investors.
Venture Capital (V.C.) in the U.S. continues to surge in 2023, with projections nearing $70 billion. This presents a prime opportunity for early-stage ventures aiming to scale and thrive.However, the landscape is fraught with challenges. Less than 1% of small U.S. businesses manage to secure V.C. backing, and 25% are still looking for additional funds. For entrepreneurs, it's a path of both opportunities and obstacles.
In the fast-paced startup finance arena, Venture Capital has traditionally reigned supreme—but not without strings like equity dilution and loss of control. In a telling shift, VC funding plummeted to $76 billion in Q1 2023, down 53%.
As e-commerce flourishes, B2B Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) isn't just trending; it's transforming how major merchants operate. A 2022 McKinsey report noted that a solid 65% of B2B companies are now all-in on online sales. Taking cues from the B2C world, the surge in B2B BNPL services is evident.
