revenue stream
Ongoing money flow
A revenue stream is a distinct source of income for a business or organization.
Companies typically have multiple revenue streams—product sales, subscriptions, licensing fees, advertising: The company diversified its revenue streams to reduce dependence on a single product.
The metaphor suggests money flowing continuously rather than arriving in isolated transactions.
