This article examines the existence of solutions to a Volterra-type integral equation in the space of functions of bounded $ \Phi $-variation. Conditions on the given functions are established to guarantee the existence of such solutions. Furthermore, it is shown that any two solutions are equal almost everywhere. The possibility of extending solutions to larger intervals is also explored.
