The questions every operator asks first.
No. You keep full ownership and stay in the driver's seat. ScaleRev isn't buying your company — we're scaling it. The revenue share is on the new business we create, revenue you wouldn't have had otherwise. You own what you built. We get paid to grow it.
An agency runs a task and bills you whether it works or not. We install and operate the entire growth engine — demand, systems, technology, capital — and run it alongside you. We're not a vendor you manage; we're a partner whose pay is tied to your results.
No retainer. We earn a share of the new revenue we generate — nothing more. Platform integration fees may apply based on size of company and complexity of setup. But in the end, if we don't grow your numbers, we don't get paid.
Yes — when it's the right lever. Capital isn't a blank check; it's deployed where it accelerates revenue we can already see coming: ad spend, hiring ahead of demand, tech we're building for you, inventory or infrastructure the growth curve requires. It's our resources behind a plan we're running with you, not a loan you're servicing and not equity you're giving up. Aligned, not arm's length.
No. We partner with 3 RevPartners every 6 weeks and we don't run the same play in the same category twice. When we come under a company, that category is ours to build with you — not something we're quietly selling to the shop across the street.
You keep your customer list — those are your relationships and your data, always. What you lose is immediate access to the core pillars we installed: the CRM buildout, the automations, the tech, the systems that produced the pipeline. We own those. The revenue share only applies to revenue generated during the partnership window we agree on — no lock-in, no ongoing obligation — but the machine we built goes with us when we go.
Less than you are now, in the parts that drain you. You stay in your zone of genius — the product, the craft, the relationships only you can hold. We take the marketing, systems, and scaling work you were never trained for and don't have time for.
Then it costs you nothing. The revenue share is your downside protection: no new revenue, no payment. We only take companies we believe we can scale, because we only make money if we do. Our incentive and yours are the same.
