The following are the main steps in our funding process

• Complete an application: We obtain some basic information about you, your company and your funding requirement.

• Additional Information Request: If you accept our Indicative Offer we will ask you to provide us with some additional information such as:
  • Read-only secure access to your company accounting and banking information so we can verify the current state of your company’s financial position
  • Standard company documentation required to ensure we comply with ‘Know your Customer’ and Anti-Money Laundering Legislation, Budgets, Tax Clearance and your latest Statutory Financial Statements.
• We will use this information in our underwriting process and once we have completed our due diligence we will issue you with a Formal Offer of Funding.
• Once accepted and everything else is in order funding will be sent to your company bank account within 24 hours.

We aim to collect all relevant information in a digital and frictionless manner to speed up the funding process. 

It takes as little as 5 minutes to complete an initial application process.

Within 24 hours, a member of our team will contact you to confirm if we can provide funding to your company.

If approved to proceed, 24 hours later, you will receive an Indicative Offer.

If you accept the offer, we will guide you through Onboarding on the platform. Depending on how quickly you upload the required information, the entire process from application to funds transferred to your bank account can take as little as 5 working days.

We try to make our pricing as transparent and straightforward as possible. When you apply for funding, we will send you an Indicative Offer that sets out the pricing clearly and in plain English.  

In most cases there will only be 3 fees applicable:

• An Annual Platform or Facility Fee 
• A Discount or Interest Charge: payable on amounts funded or outstanding
• A Transaction Fee or Monthly Service Fee: this is a percentage of the receivable funded or the facility approved 

Our all-in cost of funding through our Platform typically ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% per 30 days, depending on the product type, term, credit quality and a number of other factors.

We are mainly funded by a number of large European institutional funders with billions of Euro in assets under management (AUM) who seek to deploy capital into high quality trade receivables. 

Financefair has been in operation since 2015 and provided more than €1.7bn to scaling companies in Ireland and the UK. We’ve provided the funding to help some now very successful companies get to the next level, while also helping them avoid giving up equity, as they scale domestically and internationally.  

We can tailor funding solutions for your business when others can’t. We make this possible by not only basing our decisions on real time accounting and banking data but also by speaking to you to understand your business.  

Here are some of the features of our funding that sets us apart from other funders:

• Flexible funding limits: as you grow so can your limits
• No restrictive debtor concentration limits: important for your business if you have a small number of key customers 
• No geographic limits: you can trade international receivables
• No personal guarantees
• Multi-product: we have multiple products that we can offer for scaling companies
• Transparency: no hidden fees or costs
