Your Perfect 2025 Funding Stack: Combine 3–7 Tools Like the Pros Do

Stop choosing between debt, equity, or factoring.

The smartest founders and CEOs in 2025 stack multiple layers of capital that work together like gears in a watch.

At Prestige Commercial Capital, we’ve built hundreds of hybrid stacks that have taken companies from $1M → $100M+ in revenue with the lowest possible blended cost of capital.

This final article shows you exactly how to design yours.

Why Single-Source Funding Is Dead in 2025

  • One tool = one constraint (high cost, covenants, dilution, or speed)
  • Stacking = each layer solves a different problem
  • 2025 data (Inc. + Axial): Companies using 4+ tools grow 2.9× faster and have 38% lower blended cost than single-source peers

The 7 Layers of a Modern Funding Stack

Layer 1 – Daily Ops

Tools: Line of Credit / Working Capital Loan / Business Cards Solves: Payroll, rent, marketing Typical size: $50K–$500K

Layer 2 – Receivables

Tools: Invoice Factoring → Advanced AR Factoring Solves: 1–90 day cash conversion Typical advance: 85–98% of AR

Layer 3 – Payables

Tools: Trade Credit → Supply Chain Finance Solves: Extend DPO to 90 days Typical size: Unlimited

Layer 4 – Growth Purchases

Tools: PO Financing / Inventory Financing Solves: Fund big orders & stock Typical size: $100K–$20M+

Layer 5 – Assets & Real Estate

Tools: ABL / Equipment Lease / CRE Loan Solves: Monetize balance sheet Typical size: $1M–$50M+

Layer 6 – Expansion Capital

Tools: Mezzanine / Bridge / Export Finance Solves: Acquisitions, international, bridge gaps Typical size: $1M–$50M

Layer 7 – Owner Liquidity

Tool: Minority PE Recap (20–49% sale) Solves: Cash out millions, keep control Typical size: $5M–$150M+

Stack 3–7 of these → zero cash drag, minimal dilution, explosive growth.

Revenue-Based Financing Explained: A 2025 Guide for Small Business Owners

Image
As small businesses eye growth in 2025, with 94% planning expansion (OnDeck, 2024), revenue-based financing (RBF) emerges as a viable funding option. This alternative to traditional loans or equity financing offers flexibility, but is it suitable for your business? Prestige Commercial Capital breaks it down to help you decide. What is Revenue-Based Financing (RBF)? Revenue-based financing provides capital in exchange for a percentage of future revenue, sometimes called royalty-based financing. Unlike fixed-rate loans, repayments adjust with monthly earnings, offering relief during slow periods. For the 60% of small businesses with variable cash flow (NFIB, 2024), RBF can be a lifeline without equity loss or rigid schedules. How Does It Work?
