The various aspects of royalty financing and its many ramifications have been considered thoroughly in the writings of the well-known financier, Arthur Lipper.
A U.S. Patent spells out working methods for managing, modelling and calculating royalties; review here.

Adding a loan component to royalties is an extension of royalties designed by Mr. Lipper. The business owner first borrows the desired funds, repays them and then begins paying a royalty on revenues.
Such a royalty would likely be at a substantially reduced rate, compared to a wholly royalty-based financing, and the interest required on the loan would likely be at a lower rate than a conventional loan. The returns to investors are enhanced when the company succeeds, and the cost of capital to the company is reduced. The process is described thoroughly, with a complimentary interactive financial model, at http://www.REXdebt-shareRoyalties.com
Removing barriers to investment and delivering intelligent, well-informed growth capital more efficiently to well-managed companies is a worthy goal.
It will enhance the profit of the immediate parties, and will benefit the economy as a whole, including employment and tax revenues.
