Highlights

Here’s a quick overview of how the Liberis Capital Platform accelerates SMB funding:

  • SMBs can go from application to funding in minutes through a fully automated journey

  • Embedded funding delivers offers directly within the platforms SMBs already use

  • Automation improves conversion, reduces costs, and strengthens long-term partner relationships

Introduction

For small businesses, timing is everything. A tax bill arrives. Stock needs replenishing. A new hire is starting tomorrow. The need for capital is not weeks away; it is immediate.

At Liberis, we have built the Liberis Capital Platform to match that urgency. Funding that moves at the speed of business, delivered through an experience that is embedded, automated, and instant.

What is the Liberis Capital Platform?

The Liberis Capital Platform is an embedded funding solution that automates the entire funding journey, from eligibility and quote through to application, contract signing, and renewal.

It is designed to remove friction and deliver funding to SMBs in minutes rather than weeks.

Key capabilities

  • End-to-end automated funding journey
  • Embedded delivery within partner platforms
  • Real-time eligibility and quote generation
  • Digital contracts and instant disbursement
  • Automated renewals through a self-serve dashboard

From Weeks to Minutes

Traditional funding journeys are often slow and complex, involving paperwork, long wait times, and high rejection rates. For SMBs managing day-to-day operations, these delays can prevent timely investment.

The Liberis Capital Platform removes these barriers by automating every step of the process.

  • SMBs can complete an application in as little as 50 seconds
  • The fastest time from application to funds in an account is around five minutes

This shift transforms funding from a delayed process into an immediate business tool.

How Automation Works in Practice

The Liberis Capital Platform combines automation, data, and embedded delivery to create a seamless funding experience.

Step-by-step journey

  1. Personalised offers - SMBs receive targeted funding offers based on performance and forecasting data, delivered directly through the platforms they already use.
  2. Instant customisation - Funding quotes can be tailored in real time using partner data or through automated open banking connections.
  3. Seamless completion - Contracts are signed digitally, and funds are disbursed instantly to the SMB’s account.
  4. Always-on renewals - More than 50 percent of renewals now happen through the automated dashboard, replacing manual processes and delays.

Meeting SMBs Where They Are

Funding is no longer a one-off, linear journey. It is now embedded within the tools SMBs use every day, including checkouts, banking apps, and accounting platforms.

This shift enables:

  • Funding offers to appear at the moment capital is needed
  • Faster decision-making without leaving trusted platforms
  • A continuous, proactive funding experience rather than reactive applications

By embedding funding into existing workflows, the experience becomes more relevant, timely, and accessible.
