An existing ease of debt supplied by Avellinia Capital has increased from 20 million pounds sterling to 30 million pounds sterling.
Triver was founded by Jerome Le Luel, a former Funding Circle executive, in order to meet the structural challenges confronted with SMEs, such as unfavorable payment conditions, volatile sales trends and a lack of expertise in financial management.
He identified a vacuum left by the main British banks on the street, using open banking data to provide digital service to help finance the requirements of the SME working funds.
The members of the board of directors of the company are Dan Cobley, a former director general of Google UK, and co-founder of the Clearscore fintechs and wage funding based in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Luel, who also worked at Barclays and Capital One, said: “We solve one of the biggest problems in the real economy – suppliers and staff must be paid in time, but customers take time to pay.
“With 55 days of average payment conditions, small British companies are constantly due to 150 billion pounds sterling in commercial invoices awaiting payment.
“TRIVER allows these companies to transform their customer invoices into instant cash flows, at any time, to finance working fund needs.”
He described it as “the most flexible and profitable solution to smooth the cash flows without taking a new debt”.
Since the launch, Triver has built a clientele of more than 1,500 companies and financed more than 17,000 invoices worth around 180 million pounds Sterling, he said.
The company claims that its SME customers generally benefit from a new installation within ten minutes following the start of their request, the invoices taking less than 5 minutes to be financed.
This is compared to a standard period for four -week street banks to open an installation and up to 24 hours to advance an invoice.
Clare Mitchell, Fintech director at HSBC Innovation Banking UK, said that the new ease of debt would allow Triver to “continue to evolve its cash financing offer to an ever-increasing number of small businesses across the United Kingdom”.
