What is Alternative Business Finance in Ireland?
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending and Crowdfunding
These online platforms connect businesses looking for funding directly with individual investors or the wider public. Instead of using a traditional bank, businesses pitch their needs, and people lend or invest small amounts, making it easier to access funds.
Invoice and Asset-Based Financing
Businesses can get cash quickly by selling unpaid invoices to a third party (invoice financing) or by securing loans against business assets like equipment or vehicles (asset-based lending). This helps with cash flow without waiting for customers to pay or depleting cash reserves.
Revenue-Based and Flexible Digital Financing
Some lenders allow repayments to be tied to the business’s revenue, so payments rise or fall with sales. Many providers use online, automated systems for fast, flexible decisions, offering funds that suit the business’s specific needs.
