Questions

Is Pipe Capital a loan?
No. Pipe structures it as a merchant cash advance, a purchase of future revenue, and says MCAs are not regulated as credit in the United States or the UK; it says it has registered in every US state that currently requires sales-based financing registration.
Who provides the money?
Pipe’s own entities: Pipe Advance LLC in the US and Pipe Advance CAN LLC in Canada, each a subsidiary of Pipe Technologies Inc., and Pipe Technologies UK Limited in the UK, which Pipe says is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. Pipe refers to capital markets partners behind the funding without naming any.
How fast can a platform go live?
Pipe says its hosted option can launch in as little as a week, an embedded UI within one to two weeks and a full API integration in as little as four weeks.
