Market players are raising funds to expand their offerings for business lending segment in Europe

The business lending segment is offering a significant growth opportunity for embedded lending companies post-pandemic. Market participants are raising funds to improve their offering and expand their foothold in the business lending segment. This will help the lending companies and players in the ecosystem to capitalize on the overall prospects in this market. For instance,

• In December 2020, the United Kingdom-based embedding revenue-based finance platform provider Liberis raised £70 million, totaling the company’s valuation at £200 million. The fund was raised by the company’s old investors, including British Business Investments, Paragon Bank, BCI Europe, and a new investor Silicon Valley Bank.
• The newly raised funds will be utilized to launch new products and enter new markets with high growth opportunities. 

With the companies developing new products is expected to result in innovations and improved features in the embedded lending platform.

Strategic partnership with global players to drive financial inclusion through embedded lending in the Africa and Middle East region

In the Africa and Middle East region, there is a large proportion of the young population who do not have access to financial services. Targeting such consumer demographics, firms are entering into strategic alliances with global players to drive financial inclusion in the region. For instance, 

• In June 2021, Aafaq Islamic Finance entered into a strategic partnership with The Social Loan Company, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence-powered cutting-edge, big data-driven credit enablement platform company. 
• Under the collaboration with The Social Loan Company, the firm is planning to launch embedded lending services, thereby offering credit to the underserved young population in the region. 
• Notably, The Social Loan Company has had a phenomenal upward trajectory through its flagship embedded lending brand CASHe in India over the past four years. 

PayNXT360 expects more such strategic alliances with global players in the embedded lending industry over the next four to eight quarters, which will subsequently drive the growth of the market in the Africa and Middle East region from the short to medium-term perspective.

Embedded lending to revolutionize the trade finance market in Latin America 

The broken financing system in Latin America makes it nearly impossible for small exporters to compete with large exporters. Notably, banks often make small and medium enterprises wait for nearly three months before rejecting 50% of the trade finance applications. This is where embedded lending providers are coming to the forefront to support small and medium-sized exporters in Latin America. For instance, 

• Marco is one of the tech-enabled platforms built for small and medium-sized exporters in the United States and Latin America. Notably, the embedded lending model used by Marco allows it to scale and support and SMEs in Latin America by giving large logistics providers the ability to finance exports on their own, underwritten by Marco. 
• The firm aims to revolutionize the massive outdated trade finance market in Latin America and to help thousands of SMEs exporters to grow their businesses. Notably, the firm is addressing the US$350 billion financing gap in Latin America by developing its own proprietary and innovative risk model, which processes data in real-time for assessing risk and mitigating capital loss. 

Since its launch in 2020, the firm has funded invoices in more than 20 countries. PayNXT360 expects the firm to raise capital rounds over the next four to eight quarters to further scale its operations in Latin America and other regions globally.
