Measuring Marketing ROI
Bankable evaluates marketing loan applications partly based on the business's existing customer acquisition metrics. Businesses that can demonstrate clear revenue attribution from past marketing spend — even small amounts — qualify for larger marketing capital. Revenue-based repayment means you only pay back as the marketing generates sales, aligning incentives perfectly. Check your Bankability Score to get started.
