Frequently asked questions

No. We buy a portion of your future card sales at an agreed price and pay you up front. There's no interest rate, no fixed monthly payment and no set due date.
Established Georgia businesses with 12 months or more in business and steady card sales.
Advances range from $25,000 to $250,000. Every offer is sized to what your business can comfortably carry, not the biggest number we can justify.
About five minutes. We ask each question once and list every document up front, so there's very little back-and-forth.
Recent bank and card processing statements, a voided check, photo ID and your formation document. See What to have ready.
We make fast, clear decisions, and you hear directly from the people who make them.
Your offer shows the factor rate, total payback, daily share and every fee before you sign, along with the disclosure Georgia requires. You'll know your exact cost up front.
Two, both shown up front and taken out of the funding amount: a 2.5% origination fee and a $395 documentation fee. No surprise fees and no separate bill.
A small share of each day's card sales goes to RPI automatically through your card processor. No fixed daily withdrawals from your bank account.
Your payments get smaller, because you repay a percentage of sales. A slow week means a smaller payment, not a missed one. See what happens when business slows down.
No fixed due date. Every advance is sized to finish in about nine months or less, and stronger businesses earn lower factor rates and more time to finish.
Yes. Clients in good standing get the $395 documentation fee waived on renewal and may qualify for a larger advance when revenue supports it.
It's one factor, but your business's cash flow matters most. Our proprietary model looks at the whole business, not just one or two numbers.
We fund in first position only, so an existing advance generally needs to be paid off at funding, and we can look at covering that payoff. We never add to a stack.
We fund directly with our own capital, so you work with the people who make the decision. We also work with approved referral partners.
Our proprietary model does the heavy lifting, and a real person reviews every file. Exceptions are reviewed by senior leadership.
Yes. Documents go only through our secure portal. We ask for just the last four digits of your SSN, never passwords, PINs or full account numbers.
No stacking, payments that move with your sales, plain-English terms, a direct funder and founders who built a $50+ million company with this same kind of financing.
Every business is different; past results don't guarantee future outcomes.
Renewal benefits, first access to RPI's future equipment, secured financing and credit-line products, and referrals to bank partners when you're ready.
