Liberis and Teya Expand Partnership to Bring Flexible SME Funding to Czech Republic and Slovakia

March 19, 2025, London – Following a successful launch in the UK, Liberis, a leading global embedded finance platform, and Teya, a merchant-focused financial services provider are today announcing their expanded partnership to bring fast and flexible funding to merchants in Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The expansion extends financial support to over 23,000 merchants across the partnership, enabling them to access pre-approved revenue-based finance through a simple, fully automated application process. With funds available in as little as five minutes, merchants can invest in their businesses without the delays and complexities of traditional bank loans.

Rob Straathof, CEO of Liberis commented:

“Expanding into these new markets is a natural next step in our mission to provide merchants with fair, accessible funding. We’re seeing a rise in demand for alternative funding models across Europe as more SMEs look for flexible options that work with their cash flow, rather than against it. By expanding our partnership with Teya, we’re helping thousands more merchants secure the capital they need quickly so they can focus on growth.”

The partnership leverages Liberis’ single API, Create Journey, which allows Teya to offer a fully branded, white-label funding platform to its merchants. By integrating Teya Cash Advance into their ecosystem, merchants can benefit from:

  • Fast and flexible financing options tailored to business needs
  • Pre-approved access to funding without lengthy bank processes
  • Funds available in as little as five minutes in a fully automated process
  • Support for growth and expansion, including marketing, stock purchases, and operational costs 

Merchants operating across the UK, Czech Republic and Slovakia will be able to apply for revenue-based financing through an entirely digital flow through Teya.

“We want to make life easier for local businesses by giving them convenient access to financial solutions. Our partnership with Liberis means our merchants can get much-needed access to finance without jumping through hoops and completing lengthy paperwork. It’s all about making finance fast, flexible and transparent.”

Comments Siddhartha Ram, Product Director at Teya.

Liberis and Teya plan to continue scaling their partnership across Europe, with new funding products and geographic markets to be announced in the future, alongside ongoing enhancements to streamline the funding experience for merchants.
