Revenue participation is a way for investors to receive returns based on a business’s ongoing performance.

Instead of waiting for a business to be sold, investors receive a portion of revenue over time.

Here’s how revenue participation works.

Step 1: The Business Sets a Revenue Share

The business defines a percentage of revenue that will be shared with investors.

This is outlined clearly in the campaign terms.

Step 2: Investors Participate

Investors fund the business and become eligible to receive a share of revenue.

Step 3: Revenue Is Generated

As the business operates and earns revenue, a portion is allocated to investors.

Step 4: Payments Are Distributed

Payments are made periodically — often monthly or quarterly — depending on the terms.

Investors can track payments in their dashboard.

Step 5: A Defined Return Is Reached

Some revenue participation models continue until a certain return amount is reached.

This provides clarity on both duration and expected outcomes.
