What our customers have to say
"It’s put me ahead of the game and the business is really benefitting. Plus, there isn’t the stress of fixed repayments because the payback is based on my credit card takings, so it doesn’t hurt if we only have an ‘okay’ month."
Simon Falk, Eyecare
"Because money often comes in in dribs and drabs, paying as a percentage of our takings means we don’t even notice the payments going, it's helped us massively."
Bobby Gordon, Fella Barbers

Who are Liberis?
Liberis are a leading small business finance provider offering simple, flexible and transparent funding to help UK businesses achieve their ambitions. Established in 2007, in a space where traditional banking and loan models were unable to meet the needs of UK small businesses, Liberis provides finance based on business potential, not just credit history. Liberis are backed by British Business Bank Investments, the state-owned economic development bank established by the UK government.
How does it work?
You can either submit your details on this page or call our expert funding team directly at Liberis.
1. Liberis will agree on a percentage split that will be taken from your customer card payments processed. This will be taken from your daily batched card transactions and will go to Liberis to pay your advance, the remaining balance will go to you.
2. Liberis will agree on a price with you, which is one fixed cost added to your advance amount, so you know exactly what you’ll be paying.
3. Once agreed, they will then process your application. During this process, Liberis will look at your business and conduct some checks, such as affordability, credit, and insolvency.
4. Once approved, you will receive the funds to use as you wish for your business.
How do I qualify?
If you are an Opayo customer who takes customer card transactions totalling at +£2,500 per month and you have been trading for more than 4 months, you are eligible to apply.
How much could I get?
The amount Liberis can fund will depend on your business. They’ll look at your monthly card transactions and provide a funding amount for your business.
Can I tailor my quote?
Yes! You can choose the amount of funding you would like, and the percentage of your customer card transactions you would like to pay towards the advance. This determines the funding fee and ultimately overall amount you will pay.
What credit checks do you perform, and will they impact my credit score?
When you submit a full application, Liberis will use a number of sources of information to help understand your business. They carry out both company and consumer credit bureau searches, which will leave a record of the search on both credit files, visible to other finance providers. Your credit score won’t be affected when applying but taking out a cash advance could affect your credit score.
Do you take any security or collateral?
A Business Cash Advance is an unsecured way of accessing finance and is not a loan. This means your home is not at risk. Liberis will ask you for Personal Guarantees if you are applying as a limited company or limited liability partnership.
How long will it take me to pay Liberis Finance?
Your payments to Liberis Finance are linked to the way you are trading which means there is no set period to pay off. The payments will mirror your cashflow, so the time taken depends on your business sales.
Can I pay back early?
After 14 days, the fixed, upfront funding fee will still apply if you pay early, but there will be no early payment fees.
What can I spend the money on?
You can use your Business Cash Advance for many different business’ needs, whether it’s boosting online marketing, expanding an online shop, or simply managing cashflow.
