Is ARCA a loan?
No. ARCA offers revenue-share financing, not loans. There's no interest rate, no fixed monthly payment, and no credit check. You repay a percentage of your income as it comes in. If revenue slows, repayment slows. No penalty for that.
What is the 1% fee?
ARCA members contribute 1% of their total platform-managed revenue, the revenue ARCA tracks and organizes across your connected accounts. This funds your full ARCA membership: dashboard, cash flow forecasting, accountant-ready reports, vendor management, and capital access. It only applies when revenue is flowing. No charges in slow months. No monthly subscription.
Do I have to take financing to use ARCA?
No. The dashboard and financial tools are available to all ARCA members whether or not you take financing. Many creators use ARCA purely for financial visibility. The financing is there when you need it.
What platforms can I connect?
YouTube, Twitch, Patreon, Stripe, TikTok, Instagram, Substack, Spotify for Podcasters, Beehiiv, Gumroad, Ko-fi, and more. You can also connect your bank accounts via Plaid and manually log brand deals and sponsorship income. We add new platform integrations regularly as creators request them.
How is my financing amount determined?
Your eligible amount is based entirely on your verified historical revenue across connected platforms and bank accounts. No credit score, no bank statements, no pitch required. Connect your accounts, ARCA builds your financial profile, and your offer is calculated from there.
How does repayment work?
ARCA takes a fixed percentage of your income, typically 10-20%, until the financing plus a one-time flat fee is repaid. No compounding interest. If you have a slow month, your repayment is smaller. You get an SMS notification before every sweep. No surprises.
How much can I access?
Financing currently ranges from $5,000 to $100,000, depending on your income profile. We are in private beta. Limits will expand as we grow.
Who is ARCA for?
ARCA is built for full-time content creators earning $100K to $1M per year from a combination of platform revenue, brand deals, subscriptions, and community income. If you are running a real creator business and need financial clarity or capital to grow it, ARCA was built for you.
