About CapRelease

Common questions about CapRelease working capital, how to apply, how repayment works and what it can fund.

What is CapRelease working capital?

Working capital for eCommerce brands, from $20k to $1m. We combine inventory and revenue in one facility and underwrite it on live inventory, sales, accounting and banking data, so funding reflects how your business actually trades.

How do I apply?

Apply online in about 2 minutes, then connect your sales, accounting and banking platforms. We review your live data and come back with a decision within 24 to 72 hours.

What does it cost?

One fixed fee, disclosed in full before you sign. No factor rate, no equity and no personal guarantee.

What are the benefits?

Capital sized to your full operating picture, repayment that follows your revenue rather than a calendar, and a decision in 24 to 72 hours. You keep full ownership of your business.

What do I sign?

A receivables financing agreement. It sets out your facility, the fixed fee and how repayment is drawn from your revenue, and you see all of it before you accept.

Funding Options

What we fund, who qualifies and how CapRelease compares with other options.

What type of funding does CapRelease offer?

Working capital for eCommerce brands, from $20k to $1m. We combine inventory and revenue-based funding in a single facility, so the capital available reflects both what you hold and what you sell.

Is CapRelease an alternative to venture capital or a bank?

It can sit alongside either, or replace them. Unlike venture capital, you give up no equity. Unlike a bank, decisions take 24 to 72 hours, there are no fixed monthly repayments and no personal guarantee, and we underwrite on live trading data rather than historic accounts.

What are the eligibility criteria?

A US-registered eCommerce business (LLC, S-Corp or C-Corp), $20k+ in monthly online revenue and 12+ months of trading history. We also look for an inventory-based model selling on platforms like Shopify, Amazon or WooCommerce.

Can startups apply?

We fund established brands with 12+ months of trading history and $20k+ in monthly online revenue. If you're not there yet, book a call and we'll talk through where you stand.

Application Process

How to apply, what we need from you and how long it takes.

What is the application process?

Start with the Apply form. Answer a few questions about your business and you'll see an indicative funding estimate straight away. Then connect your sales channels, inventory, accounting and bank account, so we can underwrite on how you trade today. If you work with one of our 3PL partners, your inventory data can connect straight from their warehouse system. You get a decision within 24 to 72 hours, and once you sign, funds are disbursed to your bank account.

What data will I need to provide?

Connections to your sales channels, inventory, accounting software and bank account. We look at how your business trades today, not business plans or pitch decks.

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. There are no application fees, so you can see what's available with no commitment.

How long does it take to get funded?

From application to funds in your account can take as little as 24 to 72 hours, depending on how complete your connected data is.

How Repayment Works

How repayment is drawn and what happens when sales change.

How does repayment work?

Repayment is drawn as a percentage of your daily revenue, so it follows your sales rather than a calendar. There are no fixed monthly payments.

What happens if my sales slow down?

Because repayment is a percentage of revenue, the amount drawn falls when sales fall. If you're facing a harder stretch, talk to us early.

Data Security

How we use, protect and share your data.

How does CapRelease use and secure my data?

We take data security and privacy seriously. We use your data only to assess your application, monitor active facilities and improve our services, and it is protected with encryption and security controls.

Who has access to my data?

Only authorized members of our team involved in your funding. We never sell your data or share it without your consent.

Follow-On Funding and Support

How CapRelease supports you as your business grows.

Can I get more capital as my business grows?

Yes. Your data stays connected, so as you grow we can reassess your facility and fund your next inventory buy or campaign.

What support does CapRelease offer beyond funding?

We help you find the right fulfillment partner. Our 3PL matchmaking introduces you to 3PLs from the CapRelease network, matched to your sector, volumes and service needs, with no obligation to proceed. Your data stays connected after your first facility, so follow-on funding for your next inventory buy or campaign is faster to arrange.

Does CapRelease help with planning?

Yes. Talk to us before you need the capital. If you have a big inventory buy, a new product launch or the holiday season coming up, we'll work through it with you in advance, looking at the timing, the amount and how a facility would support it. When you're ready to draw, your data is already connected, so the decision is faster. Every facility is sized to a specific use, based on your live sell-through, inventory and cash data, so funding stays in step with your buying cycle.
