S06 EP56: Revenue-Based Financing: The BIG Shift to Raising Capital w/ Asher Ismail

Show Notes

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Asher Ismail, Co-Founder of Co-founder of Uncapped, Europe’s biggest revenue-based financing firm. Special offer for 2xers: Email [e-mail] with the subject line “Secret 50k” for a chance to get $50k funding with zero fees.

Gone are the days when eCommerce businesses were unable to raise capital. Traditional options like banks and VCs were never really preferred options, but now the market is flooded with finance companies and investors looking  to fund eCommerce. This, as you’d expect, has brought with it a different set of challenges for business owners. Choosing the right type, amount and terms  of funding is the latest puzzle to solve. This is where companies like Uncapped have come in to offer transparent and flexible options for funding.

In this episode, Kunle and Asher talk about how businesses can use revenue-based financing to grow their businesses faster. You will get to hear about what makes Uncapped’s offering unique, how businesses can grow with remote teams and what are the key data points for securing funding. This is a great episode for business owners and entrepreneurs.
