About this model
Uncapped provides non-dilutive revenue-based financing to European digital businesses, including e-commerce, SaaS, and app companies. It advances capital for marketing, inventory, or general cash needs and is repaid through a share of daily sales.
The company charges a flat fee of 6% to 12% depending on how capital is used, rather than compounding interest. Repayments recycle capital into future advances, so underwriting quality, merchant performance, and funding capacity are the core commercial constraints.
The model should forecast merchant applications, advances originated, average advance size, fee mix, daily revenue-share collections, repayment duration, and losses. A funding-facility schedule should track capital availability and cost, while a future banking product is kept separate from the specialty-lending P&L.
A turnkey financial model
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

How to build a detailed financial model for Uncapped
A complete walkthrough of the business, drivers, and assumptions behind the downloadable Uncapped model - distilled from its pitch deck and publicly available information.
Product & value proposition
- Provides £10k–£5M+ advances to digital businesses with ≥6 months of trading and ≥£10k/month in revenue.
- Flat fee only (6–12% of advance), no compounding interest, no equity, no personal guarantee.
- Revenue share repayment: customer elects 1–20% of daily sales; repayments flex with actual revenue.
- Application in minutes; decision in 24 hours.
- Advance sizing is driven by Uncapped's revenue prediction engine, which analyses connected sales/marketing data.
- Future horizon: digital banking product (banking accounts, cards) targeting the same customer base - shown in branding imagery (Visa debit cards).
Market
- 2 million e-commerce businesses in Europe
- €25B revenue opportunity (framing unclear - likely total addressable fee revenue or addressable loan book)
Revenue model
- Primary revenue: Flat fee charged upfront on each advance, ranging 6–12% of the principal depending on use of funds:
- 6% - marketing/digital ads spend
- 9.5% - inventory
- 12% - cash/general
- Mechanism: Uncapped advances principal → earns (principal × flat fee %) at origination → recovers (principal + fee) via daily revenue share (1–20% of customer GMV) until fully repaid.
- No interest accrual; no compounding. Revenue recognised as flat fee at origination or rateably over repayment period (not clarified in deck).
- Future revenue stream: Digital banking (implied; details TBA).
- Customers choose their revenue share % - higher share = larger advance available.
Traction & metrics
- Loan issuance chart shown but fully redacted ("Confidential") - axes label "Loan Issuance (£M)" with subtitle "Funding growing rapidly."
- TL;DR claims "strong market fit and growth" but specific figures redacted.
- Case study: Hēdoïne (fashion brand)
- £50k advance, end of 2019
- Q1 2020 revenue growth: 1,160% vs prior year
- ROI on advance: 227%
- Use of funds: Facebook & Instagram marketing
Unit economics
- Gross yield per advance: 6–12% flat fee
- Payback period: Variable - determined by customer's revenue share election (1–20%) and actual sales trajectory; no fixed date
Competition / moat
- Direct comparators per deck: bank loans (1–3 months, compounding interest, personal guarantee), VC/equity (3–6 months, dilutive), venture debt (2–6 months, compounding + warrants).
- Uncapped's stated advantages: 24-hour speed, no guarantee, no equity, no compounding, flexible repayment.
- Moat: Proprietary revenue prediction engine (data from connected sales/marketing accounts); switching costs from data integration.
Team & funding ask / use of funds
- Existing investors: Seedcamp referenced (testimonial from Reshma at Seedcamp) - may be existing investor.
- Digital banking product teased as "next horizon" - suggests proceeds may fund product expansion.
Recommended financial model
- Archetype + why: Specialty lender / revenue-based financing origination model. Core economics are: advance originations (volume × average size) generating flat fees as revenue; funded by a capital facility; repayments recycled into new advances. This is a loan-book / origination P&L - not a SaaS ARR model. The revenue share repayment mechanic makes it closer to a merchant cash advance (MCA) model than traditional debt. When the banking product launches, a second revenue layer (interchange, float income) can be added.
- Forecast horizon & granularity: Monthly for Year 1–2; quarterly for Year 3–5. Five-year horizon to show loan book scaling and path to profitability.
- Key drivers & assumptions:
| Driver | Value / range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average advance size | £80k midpoint (range shown: £10k–£5M, weight toward smaller deals); refine when data available | midpoint of disclosed range |
| Average flat fee rate | 8% blended (weight: 50% marketing @6%, 30% inventory @9.5%, 20% cash @12%) | rates; blend |
| Average revenue share elected | 8% (mid of 1–20%) | mid of disclosed range |
| Average advance duration (months) | 6–9 months at 8% share on typical customer revenue profile | model sensitivity |
| New advances originated per month (Y1) | start small (e.g. 5–10/month) and grow rapidly; calibrate to loan book chart when un-redacted | - |
| MoM origination growth rate | 15–25% (early-stage, high traction claims) | - |
| Default / credit loss rate | 3–6% of originated book (RBF typically lower than unsecured lending due to revenue-linked repayment) | industry benchmark |
| Cost of capital / facility rate | 6–8% p.a. on deployed book (senior credit facility) | - |
| Operating cost base | lean team initially; scale with originations | - |
| TAM penetration | 0.1–0.5% of 2M European e-commerce businesses as target | addressable count |
- Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):
- Bear: origination growth 10%/month, blended fee 7%, credit losses 7%, cost of capital 9%
- Base: origination growth 18%/month, blended fee 8%, credit losses 4.5%, cost of capital 7%
- Bull: origination growth 25%/month, blended fee 8.5%, credit losses 3%, cost of capital 6%
- Required sheets / outputs:
- Assumptions - all drivers above with scenario toggles
- Originations - monthly new advances (count × avg size), cumulative active book
- Loan book roll-forward - opening book, new advances, repayments (revenue-share collections), net book
- P&L - fee revenue (recognised at origination or rateably), credit losses provision, cost of capital / interest expense, operating costs (headcount, tech, compliance), EBITDA, net income
- Cash flow - capital deployed (uses), repayments received (sources), funding facility draws, cash runway
- Unit economics - yield on book, loss-adjusted yield, ROI per cohort, payback curve
- Banking layer (placeholder) - interchange revenue, float income; stub for future build-out once product details disclosed
- Dashboard - KPIs: active book (£M), monthly originations, net yield, loss rate, cash runway

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.
Need help finding your model? You’ll find me in the Finamodel app!
