SaaS Financing

The SaaS financing gap nobody talks about


You have strong ARR, healthy NRR, and a clear growth roadmap. But the financing options available to you were built for a different kind of business; slower, asset-heavy, and comfortable with the status quo.

Banks want collateral you don't have.
VCs want equity you don't want to give.
Revenue-based lenders cap out before you need them.
And venture debt takes months and millions in legal fees before you see a penny.

SaaS financing solves this. It's capital structured around what you actually have: predictable, compounding recurring revenue. No compromise on ownership. No waiting months for a decision.



What is SaaS financing?


SaaS financing is a form of non-dilutive debt capital designed specifically for software companies with recurring revenue. Instead of evaluating physical assets, collateral, or profitability, lenders like Float assess the quality and predictability of your annual recurring revenue, churn rate, net revenue retention, and customer concentration.

SaaS financing lets you access capital quickly, without giving up equity, accepting warrants, or pledging personal assets. The funding is sized to your revenue and repaid as your business grows making it one of the most founder-friendly financing structures available to B2B SaaS companies today.

How SaaS financing works


A SaaS financing provider connects to your billing, accounting, or payment data to analyse your recurring revenue profile. Based on ARR quality metrics such as NRR, churn, growth rate, customer mix, they determine how much capital you can access and at what cost. Funds are typically available within days of approval. Repayment is structured around predictable monthly installments.

What SaaS companies use Float financing for

Accelerate go-to-market


Deploy SaaS financing into paid acquisition, sales headcount, or market expansion before your next funding round. Float lets you move on the opportunity now, using revenue you've already earned.

Extend the runway between rounds


Raise your Series A or B on your terms, not because you're out of time. SaaS financing gives you 6–18 months of additional runway to sharpen your metrics and negotiate from strength.

Fund product and engineering


Hire the engineers or designers you need without the dilution that comes with it. SaaS financing is particularly effective for product-led growth companies that need to invest ahead of the revenue curve.

Smooth cash flow gaps


Annual contracts, renewal cycles, and seasonal patterns create cash flow timing gaps. SaaS financing closes them without forcing you to restructure your business model or offer discounts to collect early.


Refinance expensive capital


Replace high-cost convertible notes or existing revenue-based financing with a cleaner, better-structured facility. Float's SaaS financing works alongside your existing cap table.

Which SaaS companies qualify for Float financing?

Float's SaaS financing is purpose-built for European and UK B2B software companies. If you have predictable recurring revenue, a subscription or usage-based model, and a clear plan for the next phase of growth, you're likely a strong fit.

You're a good fit for SaaS financing if:

  • €250K+ ARR, with at least 12 months of revenue history
  • B2B SaaS, subscription, or usage-based revenue model
  • Operating in Europe, Ireland, or the UK
  • Growing - whether bootstrapped, VC-backed, or PE-owned

SaaS financing may not be right if:

  • You're a consumer app or marketplace without recurring revenue
  • Your ARR is below €250K or under 6 months old
