Liberis Raises €30 Million for European Expansion Plans
Liberis, an innovative provider of an embedded business finance platform, has successfully raised €30 million in debt funding as part of its strategic growth plans. Based in London, UK, the company saw this funding round led by Silicon Valley Bank UK. With this latest injection of capital, Liberis has now secured a total of €430 million in funding, which includes over €80 million in equity. The investment from Silicon Valley Bank UK complements the support from established investors such as Barclays Bank, BCI Finance, and the UK-based venture builder Blenheim Chalcot, further solidifying the company’s position in the market.
The primary goal of Liberis with this new funding is to expand its foothold into new territories, specifically targeting Germany and Poland, while also exploring opportunities beyond.
With plans to draw finances for its customers in multiple currencies—including EUR, SEK, and DKK—Liberis aims to minimize their foreign exchange exposure. This ambitious expansion initiative not only reflects the company's growth trajectory but also its commitment to providing flexible financial solutions that meet the needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Europe.
Founded in 2007 and currently led by CEO Rob Straathof, Liberis specializes in developing flexible embedded finance solutions that empower partners to offer personalized and accessible funding to their customers. By utilizing advanced machine learning technologies, the platform adeptly assesses a customer's risk profile and the funding options available to them. This innovative approach enables higher volumes of origination, ultimately returning financial control to SME owners. To date, Liberis has successfully provided over 23,000 SMEs with nearly €1 billion in financing, marking a significant milestone in its mission to support the growth and sustainability of small businesses.
