Understanding Servala's Investment Models
The ROI Calculator helps you analyze potential returns from partnering with Servala through two distinct investment models:
3-7% Annual Returns
Fixed interest lending with guaranteed monthly payments. Low risk, predictable returns.
15-40% Potential Returns
Performance-based revenue sharing with scaling bonuses and extended grace periods.
You lend capital to Servala at a fixed interest rate, receiving guaranteed monthly payments regardless of business performance.
Monthly payments use standard amortization:
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where P = Principal, r = Monthly rate, n = Total payments
Invest directly in Servala's operations and earn returns through revenue sharing that scales with performance and investment size.
| Investment Amount | Scaling Factor | Customer Acquisition | Churn Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHF 500,000 | 1.0x | Baseline | 0% |
| CHF 1,000,000 | 1.5x | +50% vs baseline | 20% |
| CHF 2,000,000 | 2.0x | +100% vs baseline | 40% |
Larger investments get longer periods of 100% revenue retention:
CSPs exceeding 110% of baseline performance receive up to 15% additional revenue share.
