Recurring Revenue Financing: Structuring, Documentation, and Financial Covenants
Alternative Financing for Early Stage Growth Companies
A live 90-minute premium CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A
This CLE webinar will examine the unique characteristics of recurring revenue financing (RRF), and the issues lenders and borrowers should consider in structuring recurring revenue transactions. The panel will also discuss how the conversion of such transactions to more conventional earnings-based financing should be addressed in the financing documents.
Outline
- Recurring revenue financing as an alternative to traditional ABL borrowing base revolver for growth companies and PE funds seeking working capital or to acquire growth companies
- Borrowing base formulas: eligibility criteria and churn
- Payment features: interest, amortization
- Recurring revenue and liquidity covenants
- Conversion to EBITDA-based financial covenants
- Other structural features
Benefits
The panel will review these and other important issues:
- What debt financing options are available to companies that do not have earnings?
- How can recurring revenue be used as a basis for pre-EBITDA debt financing?
- How has RRF been used in connection with acquisitions? What percent of the capital stack does it represent?
- What are the typical parameters for allowing the loan to convert to a more conventional EBITDA-based financing?
