Liberis
Panel embedded-finance specialist we route to when the applicant already has a relationship with a partner platform (Worldpay, Barclaycard, Klarna, Sage). The application is often pre-approved through that platform rather than starting cold, so we use Liberis when the matcher detects an existing partner relationship in the applicant profile. Fast same-day funding for applicants whose card flow is already visible to the lender.

Why we route here
- Strong embedded distribution, so applicants on Worldpay, Sage or Klarna often arrive pre-approved.
- Repayments scale with sales, which we match to applicants who cannot service a fixed monthly burden.
- Multiple-currency operations supported, useful for ecommerce Ltds selling cross-border.
- Fast same-day to 48-hour decisions for files where the partner data is already in.
When we route elsewhere
- Distribution is via partners rather than direct, so applicants without a partner relationship may get a slower route.
- Effective APR on factor rates carries the same opacity as other MCA routes, the matcher translates it.
- Eligibility tied to the partner platform means non-partner applicants get routed to Capify, 365 Business Finance or YouLend instead.
- Long-term term-loan needs are a bad fit, route to Funding Circle, Allica or Aldermore.
Best fit applicants
- Existing Worldpay, Barclaycard, Klarna or Sage users with strong card flow
- Ecommerce Ltds wanting embedded-finance journeys
- Applicants with pre-approved offers visible inside their partner platform
Where Liberis is the wrong fit
- Applicants without a partner-platform relationship, route to Capify or 365 Business Finance
- Long-term term-loan needs, route to Funding Circle or Allica
- Pre-revenue applicants, route to Start Up Loans Company
