What Now Account Network does

Now Account Network, operating as NOW Corp, is a private Atlanta-based FinTech founded in 2010 that provides a B2B invoice acceleration service marketed under the brand "Revenue On Demand." The platform enables small and mid-sized US businesses to convert approved customer invoices into immediate cash flow at a transparent flat fee (ranging from 2.50% for a 15-day term to 7.50% for a 90-day term), without putting debt on the business balance sheet and without recourse factoring. Businesses upload invoices or connect their accounting system via the web application at app.nowaccount.com, select which customer receivables to fund, and receive disbursement via ACH typically within 24-48 hours of invoice approval; a $250 one-time activation fee and a 1% international surcharge provide auxiliary revenue.

The company's core technological and commercial differentiator is its positioning outside both loans and factoring: the SMB retains the customer relationship as the biller of record, pays a single fixed fee that does not compound based on actual customer payment timing, and can use the service selectively on individual invoices rather than via a long-term contract. Distribution combines a product-led growth self-serve application flow with inside-sales specialist outreach, targeting verticals including professional services, consulting, manufacturing, marketing and creative agencies, government contracting, and staffing firms. The company reports serving more than 1,000 US businesses with cumulative funded invoice volume above $1 billion, and operates corporate headquarters at 3535 Peachtree Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia under the legal entity NOWaccount Network Corporation.

Now has raised approximately $40.5 million in disclosed funding across three rounds, the largest being a $29 million financing in October 2021 (a credit facility plus equity investment) co-led by Brigade Capital Management and Virgo Investment Group to scale the NowAccount solution for SMBs. A leadership bench includes co-founder Lara Hodgson (President & CEO), co-founder Stacey Abrams, chairman Jim Reinhart, CIO Mel Johnson, CFO Amelia Divenere, and COO/CCO Marc Adelson, with Jesse Watson also identified as CEO in management-team records. The company's risk profile is anchored on credit exposure to SMB receivables funded through its facility, with disclosed unit economics ranging from 2.50% to 7.50% per invoice transaction.

Direct peers

• BlueVine: BlueVine offers invoice factoring and revolving lines of credit to SMBs, directly overlapping Now's 'Revenue On Demand' product in target customer (small US businesses) and use case (accelerating receivables). Both charge fees on invoice term and compete for the same B2B cash-flow-bridging wallet.
• Fundbox: Fundbox provides SMB working capital advances repaid via receivables or ACH, including invoice-based financing. It targets the same B2B SMB segment (consulting, agencies, services) with similar short-term fee-based pricing, making it a near-direct substitute for Now's Revenue On Demand.
• Behalf: Behalf offers B2B financing and merchant cash advances to SMBs at the point of sale or on receivables. Its invoice-based financing products and SMB focus put it in direct competition with Now's invoice acceleration model.
• AltLine (The Finance Factory): AltLine provides invoice factoring and working capital lines specifically to SMBs through a partner network. Its product set, customer profile, and transaction-fee revenue model closely mirror Now's Revenue On Demand offering.
• OnDeck: OnDeck originates short-term working capital loans and lines of credit to SMBs, including receivables-backed structures. While it brands as a term-loan provider rather than invoice acceleration, it competes for the same cash-flow-stressed SMB customers Now targets.

Broad incumbents

• American Express Business Blueprint (formerly Kabbage): American Express absorbed Kabbage in 2020 and now offers SMB working capital and invoice-backed financing as part of a much broader card payments and business services portfolio. It is a scaled incumbent with the customer reach and balance sheet that Now lacks.
• Stripe Capital: Stripe Capital extends working capital advances to businesses using Stripe for payments, embedding financing inside a global payments platform. While its underwriting is platform-tied, it competes for the same invoice-driven cash flow use case among online B2B SMBs.

Emerging players

• Lendio: Lendio operates a marketplace matching SMBs with multiple working capital and loan products, including invoice-based options. It is comparable as an SMB financing channel but routes through third-party capital providers rather than funding invoices directly like Now.
• Biz2Credit: Biz2Credit connects SMBs with working capital and term loan products from a network of lenders. It overlaps with Now in addressing SMB cash-flow needs but operates as a marketplace rather than as a direct invoice funder.
• Parafin: Parafin provides embedded working capital and invoice-financing infrastructure for platforms serving SMBs. It targets similar cash-flow-bridging use cases as Now but delivers capital through partner platforms rather than direct SMB acquisition.
