iwoca, one of Europe’s largest SME lenders, has announced a new funding line with initial commitments of £200 million from Barclays and Värde Partners. In January this year, iwoca secured an increase and extension to its existing funding line, with long-standing partner Pollen Street Capital - from £125 million to £170 million - as demand for SME finance soared. With the new £200 million funding line from Barclays and Värde, this now takes the total debt commitments to over £850 million. As high-street banks reduce access to capital for SMEs, this funding line equips iwoca to meet the growing SME demand for working capital. According to iwoca’s Q2/23 SME Expert Index, more than four in five brokers (84%) say high street banks are reducing their appetite for funding SMEs. This increased by 7 percentage points since Q1 2023. A similar proportion of SME finance experts (81%) predict demand for finance for SMEs will increase by the end of the year, indicating that the funding gap for SMEs is set to widen without support from alternative lenders. ‣ Source: https://lnkd.in/eY9E8WTU ‣ Join 50k other FinTech Fanatics and sign up for my daily FinTech Newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eVNvGnDW #donedeal #funding #fundinground #investors #investment #vc #fintech #fintechindustry #fintechinnovation #financialtechnology #financialservices #fintechnews
