Pershing Ventures is established in the State of Wyoming, USA as a C-Corporation.
Revenue based financing is a form of non-dilutive growth capital which is predominantly driven by the customer’s revenue history and forecasted revenue growth. Furthermore, it is repaid over time based on the amount of revenue generated in each period.
Pershing Ventures structures its transactions to be repaid monthly. Repayments are based upon a pre-agreed percentage of the customer’s monthly revenue. This allows for repayments to be made in-line with monthly sales performance and align with cash flow management. Because of this, there is no final repayment deadline or maturity. Additionally, there is no requirement for personal guarantees, collateral, or board seats, and no pre-payment penalty after a short window.
After closing a transaction, Pershing Ventures monitors the outstanding transaction and the growth of your business with an eye to providing additional capital when the business has an incremental use case. Many of our customers return to execute follow-on transactions after repaying the initial one, or in the case of dramatic growth results from our capital, may seek to upsize an outstanding transaction prior to full repayment.
The founders of Pershing Ventures have backgrounds in both private and public financial markets with pedigrees in traditional, structured, and cross-border financing which results in a unique and flexible approach to the business. The Investment Committee, while informed by technological driven due diligence, makes human decisions to identify the right financing solution for your corporate structure, business model and growth aspirations. Pershing Ventures does not rely on one specific type of model to evaluate your business, rather it utilizes different credit frameworks to ensure it’s applying an appropriate lens to the customer and its funding requirements.
Pershing Ventures capital is commonly used to fund growth activities such as sales and marketing, addressing order backlog and geographic expansion. Achieving profitability faster by closing sales leads faster or monetizing higher margin business is also an attractive use case.
