Introduction
Small businesses do not stand still. Their funding needs evolve constantly, shaped by growth, seasonality, and changing market conditions.
At Liberis, we are building for a new era of embedded finance, one that moves beyond single-product solutions and embraces real choice, flexibility, and long-term growth. We call this the multi-product era.
What is the multi-product era in embedded finance?
The multi-product era refers to a model where SMBs are not limited to a single funding solution, but instead have access to a range of products that adapt to their needs over time.
This approach ensures that funding evolves alongside the business, rather than forcing the business to fit a fixed product.
Key principles
- Choice: Funding options tailored to different business needs and moments
- Flexibility: The ability to move between products as needs change
- Growth: Solutions designed to unlock opportunity, not just solve short-term challenges
Why Multi-Product Matters
Every business operates differently. Some can plan months ahead with confidence, while others manage cash flow week by week.
The multi-product approach ensures that businesses can access funding that matches their reality, rather than being constrained by a single option.
For partners, this creates a stronger value proposition by supporting customers across their entire lifecycle, from acquisition through to long-term growth and retention.
Funding That Fits the Business Journey
At the core of the Liberis Capital Platform is a data-driven recommendation engine that analyses more than 118 million SMB data points each month.
This includes signals such as revenue patterns, transaction data, and customer feedback, allowing Liberis to deliver the most relevant funding offer at the right time.
Product blueprints powering the multi-product model
Liberis’ funding solutions are built on five core product blueprints, each designed to support a different stage of the business journey.
- Starter Capital - Funding available from day one, with eligibility for up to 98 per cent of applicants.
- Working Capital Finance - Short-term funding designed to support cash flow and day-to-day operations.
- Flex Capital - A replenishing source of funding that businesses can draw down as needed without re-underwriting.
- Pay with Liberis - Funding embedded at checkout, allowing businesses to spread the cost of larger purchases instantly.
- Investment Capital - Larger funding amounts designed to support long-term strategic growth and expansion.
Together, these products create a continuous funding journey, supporting SMBs from initial onboarding through to scaling and expansion.
How Intelligence Powers Better Funding Decisions
The effectiveness of the multi-product model relies on data and intelligence.
Liberis uses a recommendation engine that continuously analyses SMB performance and behaviour to determine:
- Which product is most relevant
- When funding should be offered
- How offers should be structured
This ensures that funding is not only available but also timely and aligned with each business’s needs.
Embedded Finance, Exactly Where It Should Be
Embedded finance is most effective when it becomes a natural part of the business experience.
With the Liberis platform, funding is integrated directly into the tools SMBs already use, removing friction and simplifying access to capital.
This enables:
- Funding to appear at key decision points, such as checkout or investment moments
- Seamless application experiences without lengthy forms or external processes
- Real-time insights to help businesses plan and grow
Because the platform is modular, partners can choose how and where funding appears within their ecosystem.
Benefits for Partners
The multi-product approach delivers clear commercial benefits for partners.
Higher conversion
Embedding funding into key moments, such as checkout, can increase conversion by up to 14 per cent on higher-value purchases¹.
Stronger retention and engagement
SMBs that access funding grow faster and are more likely to remain active on the platform.
- Funded merchants grow 25 per cent faster¹
Faster innovation and scalability
The modular platform allows partners to launch tailored funding solutions in weeks rather than months.
This enables continuous innovation without significant engineering overhead.
How This Differs from Single-Product Models
Traditional embedded finance solutions often rely on a single product, limiting flexibility for both SMBs and partners.
The multi-product model introduces:
- A range of funding options instead of a single solution
- Dynamic product selection based on real-time data
- Continuous funding relationships rather than one-off interactions
- Greater adaptability across different business types and growth stages
