RocketBoots secures $5 million financing facility for global rollout
RocketBoots (ASX: ROC) has secured a short-term financing facility of up to $5 million, announced on 29 October 2026. The facility is non-dilutive: any drawdown does not require the Company to issue equity, and the facility provider receives no equity rights.
Nothing has been drawn at present. The timing aligns with the first site installations announced on 6 October 2026, which are underway.
For investors, the facility lines up working capital for what the Company’s CEO describes as the largest installation program in its history, without touching the share register.
Joel Rappolt, Chief Executive Officer
“This facility means the company has access to additional working capital to fund it.”
“…”
“We aligned the timing of this facility with the start of site installations.”

How the facility works
The facility is a short-term arrangement in which the provider advances cash and charges a fee, with a settlement period of 60 days. Partial drawdowns can occur against invoices raised.
Material terms at a glance
| Term | Detail |
|---|---|
| Facility limit | $5,000,000 |
| Settlement period | 60 days from the date the provider pays RocketBoots |
| Establishment fee | None |
| Finance fee | 3.00% for the 60 days |
| Fee basis | Calculated on 85% value of any invoice |
| Securities | No requirement to issue shares, options or other securities (non-dilutive) |

The terms carry no establishment fee, and the finance fee is calculated on 85% value of any invoice rather than on a fixed debt balance.
Invoice financing explained
Under an invoice-based facility, the provider advances cash against invoices the Company has raised, rather than the Company waiting for customers to pay. This can help where costs arise up front and customer payment arrives later.
Non-dilutive funding matters to shareholders because it does not require new shares to be issued, so existing holders are not diluted by the facility.
The provider is described as a well-established invoice financing and fintech solution based in Australia, which has been operating as a lender for over a decade. RocketBoots has not named it, stating it does not consider the provider’s identity to be information that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its securities.
What the facility funds
The facility is for the international rollout under RocketBoots’ contract with the tier-one multinational retailer, a five-year SaaS agreement announced on 18 December 2025. It also covers the Activation Contract announced on 30 March 2026.
Because the first installations under that contract are underway, future SaaS and activation invoices can be funded under the facility when it is in the interests of the Company to do so. The structure is flexible, with partial drawdowns possible against invoices raised.
The first site installations began with US stores for the tier-one retailer, where integration with the customer’s self-checkout technology stack is complete and an initial invoice of about A$138,000 has already been issued.
The announcement indicates the contracted rollout is moving into execution, with additional working capital available as sites are installed. In the CEO’s words, “Up to $5 million can be drawn and the cash comes onto the balance sheet as sites are installed.”
What happens next for RocketBoots
- Site installations under the tier-one multinational retailer contract are underway, with the first installations announced on 6 October 2026. Future SaaS and activation invoices can be funded under the facility as installations proceed.
