In the UK alone, SMEs are losing access to up to £5bn ($6.66bn) in funding due to the limitations of these models, according to FXE Technologies and the Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology (CFIT). But alternative lenders like YouLend are fixing this, transforming SME finance by utilising live operational data and integrating funding solutions, creating opportunities for businesses that have often been overlooked by conventional financing methods.

We're excited to announce the launch of Buckaroo Capital — a new embedded finance solution bringing fast, flexible working capital to entrepreneurs across the Benelux. 🚀 Built on YouLend's financing infrastructure and integrated directly into Buckaroo's payment platform, Buckaroo Capital removes the biggest barrier SMEs face: getting funded quickly. Instead of navigating lengthy bank applications, Buckaroo's 54,000+ customers can now: → See their financing options instantly, based on their own transaction data → Apply without leaving their existing payment environment → Repay as a percentage of revenue so payments flex with their business As Luuk Visschedijk, our Head of Strategic Partnerships, puts it: "Within their existing environment, they can immediately see what financing is available and make efficient use of it." This is what embedded finance looks like in practice. 🔗 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ecCtDwpq #EmbeddedFinance #YouLend #BuckarooCapital #SMEFinance #Fintech #Benelux
