How independent businesses unlock working capital directly from their own customers — no debt, no dilution, and a growing base of Regulars who keep coming back.
High rates, long timelines, and requirements that don't fit most independent businesses.
Revenue financing
"Revenue-based" loans take a cut of every sale. A debt trap with a friendly name.
Credit cards
High interest rates that compound fast, with personal liability tied to your own credit score.

The solution
Customer Capital: a new growth engine behind real small business.
Customer Capital is a model where your own customers give you working capital upfront — with no debt and no equity given up. In return, they get 20% more back in credits to spend over time.
For the business
Capital now from customers for the long haul.
Not crowdfunding. Not a loan. Not equity.
A commercial transaction where customers get more back than they put in. A standing relationship, not a one-time event.

How it works · part 2
Credits — 20% more back.
Customers get back 20% more than they put in, as credits to spend at your business. We send those credits to them gradually over time — so they keep coming back, month after month.
Buy in
A customer buys in during your window — say, $100.
Get more back
They receive $120 in credits — 20% more than they put in.
Spend over time
Credits arrive gradually over the months that follow, bringing them back again and again.

The long haul
Going live every year. Year after year.
When your window closes, you're still listed on NuMarket. Your Regulars keep spending their credits — and at selected moments through the year, NuMarket invites them to top up.
On your anniversary, your window opens again. Your base of Regulars is larger. The capital grows. Most businesses go live with NuMarket every year.
