Wellen Capital specializes in providing capital advances tailored for small businesses, enabling them to access liquidity based on future sales. Their primary offering is a capital advance that allows clients to receive upfront cash, which can be deployed for various operational needs such as inventory purchases, advertising, and seasonal sales planning. This service is particularly beneficial for businesses facing cash flow challenges, as it alleviates the burden of high repayment structures, promoting healthier financial management. Wellen Capital targets diverse industries, including construction, healthcare, retail, and hospitality, positioning itself to serve a broad client base across the United States.
Their solutions cater primarily to established businesses with a minimum operational history of two years, ensuring that their clients have a track record that demonstrates reliability and potential for growth. Wellen Capital generates revenue through capital advances, structured to facilitate daily payments that align with the cash flow of their clients. The company engages in B2B transactions, providing services directly to small businesses that seek immediate financial support without lengthy approval processes typical of traditional banking institutions. Each capital advance can amount to up to 15% of a business's annual revenue, allowing for significant financial flexibility.
Although specific pricing details for their services are not disclosed, clients typically engage in agreements that involve repayment over a defined period, based on their sales performance. This structured approach enables Wellen Capital to maintain a steady revenue stream while supporting their clients’ growth and operational needs. Looking ahead, Wellen Capital aims to enhance its service offerings with new product designs planned for 2017, targeting small businesses across more regions in the US. The recent funding round completed on December 1, 2016, will be utilized to bolster these initiatives, focusing on expanding its market presence and enhancing product features to better serve its clients.
