  • Solutions Used: Revenue-Based Finance
  • Results: Leveraged 70% of ARR, expanded into new territories, grew stock levels


Explore how Zeus Scooters used Financefair’s flexible funding solution to unlock growth potential, scaling into six countries while preserving equity and operational freedom.

“We operate in a relatively new, very fluid, and fast-changing category. It can be difficult for more traditional funders to see the opportunity and they can be reluctant to support new business models.

That was certainly not the case with Financefair! Their solution really did demonstrate a total understanding of our business and allowed us to utilise our most valuable assets – our customers – via our future cashflows (ARR) to increase stock levels, expand into new territories, and really grow our business.”
