SaaS Founders don't deserve to pay an upfront fee which makes prepayment expensive. Try Founderpath instead.

After trying all the RBF platforms out there, we found FounderPath to be the best one to work with, having the best terms, and also giving us added value that nobody else could. FounderPath also worked with us to help us resolve our unique situation, and make our payment more predictable and flexible. With FounderPath, it's not just the money - it's being part of a financial support network. Also, switching from our previous provider (CapChase) was extremely easy and smooth.

I've had dealings with Pipe and Capchase, and Founderpath has been the best experience. You aren't just dealing with a sales rep who then hands you off to someone else who hands you off to someone else. Founderpath has a more personal touch.They also have longer and more flexible terms, allowing you to pay off early if needed without penalty like the others.Overall, a great experience.Note that Discount Rate isn't the same as APR you get with a bank loan, so don't compare them apples-to-apples. All these companies use Discount Rate which ends up converting to ~2x APR, so bear that in mind when making decisions.
