What you can do with this capital

Growth Capital puts a large budget in your hands before your store pays you. Here is what studios typically use it for.

Scale UA before you have the cash

Your next payout is 30–45 days away, but the optimal UA window is now. Get the budget today, run the campaign, repay from the revenue it generates.

Example: £85k advance → 6 months of UA at £14k/mo → repaid from growing store payouts

Hire without waiting for a round

Engineers and producers cost money before they ship product. Fund the team from confirmed store revenue — no investor approval, no dilution, no 6-month fundraising process.

Example: £60k advance → 7 months of senior engineer salary, repaid as payouts arrive

Launch your next title without a bridge round

Pre-launch costs are front-loaded. Use Growth Capital to cover QA, marketing, and distribution spend — then start repaying once the new title generates payouts.

Example: £100k advance → launch budget for a new title, no equity required

How Growth Capital works

Same onboarding as Revenue Factoring. The difference is in repayment — instead of one cycle, you spread it across ten.

1

Apply and connect your stores

Short application form. Connect App Store Connect and Google Play Console with financial read access. Takes about 25 minutes total.

2

We review and make an offer

We verify your confirmed payout history — no projections, no guesswork. You receive a specific offer: advance amount, monthly schedule, total cost. Offer valid for 3 days.

3

Receive your advance

Sign digitally, open your Ampere account (if you do not have one), route store payouts to it. Funds arrive in your account within 3–7 days for first-time clients.

4

Repay automatically over 10 months

Each month, when your payout arrives in your Ampere account, we automatically collect 10% principal + 3% of the remaining balance. You keep the rest. No manual action required.

The repayment mechanics

Fixed each month
10% of original advance → principal
Same amount every month. Predictable.
Declining each month
3% × remaining balance → fee
Gets smaller every month. Month 10 is your lowest payment.
Example: £85k advance
Month 1 payment:£11,050
Month 5 payment:£10,030
Month 10 payment:£8,755
Total fees (3%/mo):£14,025

Which path is right for you?

Every option has a legitimate use case. Here is an honest comparison.

For large strategic raises

Equity round

When it makes sense: Right when you need £1M+ and want strategic investors alongside capital.

Trade-off: Trade-off: 6–12 months to close, 15–25% dilution, investor approval for major decisions. Permanent.

For asset-backed businesses

Bank loan

When it makes sense: Right when you have assets, trading history, and need long-term structured debt.

Trade-off: Trade-off: Personal guarantee usually required, weeks of underwriting, fixed monthly repayments regardless of revenue.

For app studios with proven revenue

Amps33 Growth Capital

When it makes sense: Right when you have consistent App Store or Google Play revenue and want capital to grow without dilution or collateral.

Trade-off: Trade-off: Advance size tied to your store revenue. 3% per month on declining balance.

Why app studios choose Amps33

We built specifically for App Store and Google Play revenue — not adapted from generic invoice factoring.

Built for app revenue cycles
We understand Apple and Google payout schedules, fiscal calendars, and how store payouts differ from ordinary invoices. Our underwriting reflects this.
Your account, not ours
Unlike some competitors, payouts go to your own Ampere account — not to a third-party account we control. You have full visibility and access at all times.
No forced currency conversion
Competitors often route through USD and charge double FX. We advance in your operating currency. FX spread is 0.35% if conversion is needed — disclosed upfront.
Transparent pricing
One fee: 3% per month on the declining balance. No origination fee, no annual fee, no early repayment penalty. The calculator shows you the full cost before you apply.
Fast underwriting for standard profiles
We review App Store and Play Console data directly — no waiting for bank statements or manual evidence gathering. Straightforward UK studios typically get a decision in 24–48 hours.
Regulated banking layer
Payment accounts are provided by the Equals Money group — FCA-supervised in the UK and NBB-supervised in Belgium — through the Ampere platform. Financing is provided by Novo Finance Ltd, London.

Questions before you apply

The things founders and CFOs typically want to know before connecting their store accounts.

What happens if my store revenue drops during repayment?
We advance against confirmed payouts that Apple and Google have already approved — not projected revenue. If a monthly payout is lower than usual, we collect 10% of the original advance plus 3% of the remaining balance from what actually arrives. There is no penalty for revenue fluctuation — repayment is always tied to what the store pays you.
What if Apple or Google delays my payout?
We carry the delay risk. The 3% monthly fee is tied to the payout event, not the calendar date. If Apple holds your payout for 30+ days for any operational reason, we wait — no additional charges apply.
Can I repay early?
Yes. There are no early repayment penalties. If you want to close the advance ahead of schedule, simply settle the outstanding principal — no exit fee.
What access do you need to my store accounts?
Financial role access to App Store Connect and Google Play Console. This gives us read access to your payout data only. We cannot make purchases, submit apps, change app settings, or take any other action in your store accounts.
Who receives my store payouts?
Your payouts go directly to your Ampere business account — an account you own and control. We have a collection agreement that lets us take the monthly principal and fee when payouts arrive. The remainder is available to you immediately, with no delay.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The full cost structure is 3% per month on the declining balance, deducted from payouts as they arrive. No origination fee, no early repayment penalty, no annual fee, and no FX markup if your revenue and advance are in the same currency.
What is the maximum advance size?
Currently up to £100,000 per advance. For larger portfolios, contact us — we can review case by case.
Can I use Growth Capital alongside Revenue Factoring?
Not simultaneously for the same revenue stream. You can have one active advance type per store payout cycle.
Is this a loan?
No. Growth Capital is a purchase of future receivables — we buy the right to a portion of your upcoming App Store and Google Play payouts. It is not a loan or credit line, which means it does not appear as debt on your balance sheet in the same way and does not require personal guarantees.
