Purchase of Future Receivables

A financing structure where a funder buys a set amount of your future sales at a discount today — a sale, not a loan.

A purchase of future receivables is the legal structure behind most revenue-based funding, including Quickie. The funder buys a fixed dollar amount of your future sales (the total payback) for a smaller amount today (the funded amount). You are selling a slice of tomorrow’s revenue at a discount, not borrowing money at interest.

That distinction matters. Because it is a sale of receivables rather than a loan, the price is expressed as a factor rate and a fixed total payback rather than an accruing APR, and repayment is collected as an agreed weekly remittance or holdback against the sales being purchased. It is commercial funding for a business purpose — not a consumer loan.

The receivables you are selling are future sales, so honest sizing depends on realistic revenue, not your best-ever week. Read the agreement and disclosures carefully so you understand exactly what is being purchased, how remittance is collected, and what happens if sales slow.

Frequently asked

Is a purchase of future receivables a loan?

No. It is a sale: the funder purchases a fixed amount of your future sales at a discount. There is no interest accruing over time — the total payback is set at signing. Always review your specific agreement and disclosures.

Do I owe interest on it?

Not in the traditional sense. The cost is the difference between the funded amount and the total payback, expressed as a factor rate rather than an accruing interest rate.

What happens if my sales slow down?

How a slowdown is handled depends on the structure and your agreement. Some products flex with sales; fixed remittances do not. This is exactly why you size the deal against conservative revenue and confirm the terms before signing.
