Global Embedded Finance Platform Liberis and Merchant Services Provider Elavon Jointly Launch ‘Quick Capital’ for US Small Businesses

ATLANTA/LONDON, Aug. 28, 2025 — Liberis, a leading global embedded finance platform, has announced a new partnership with Elavon, a leading payments provider and subsidiary of U.S. Bank, to launch “Quick Capital”, a seamless funding solution for small businesses across the United States.

As per a press release, this partnership will provide access to capital to more than 275,000 US merchants, offering fast, flexible revenue-based financing from Liberis for eligible small businesses through an easy-to-navigate application that starts within the Elavon merchant portal.

With minimal paperwork and rapid disbursement, small businesses can secure the funds they need to support growth, manage cash flow, or invest in key initiatives like inventory, marketing, and expansion.

“When we talk to small business owners, they tell us the same thing again and again – they’re drowning in paperwork just trying to get the funding they deserve,” said Rob Fairfield, Chief Executive Officer of Liberis.

“This partnership with Elavon is designed to remove barriers to business funding, providing them with the capital they need, exactly when they need it. We’re helping hundreds of thousands of merchants get back the time and resources they need so they can focus on growth and expansion.”

The solution is powered by Liberis Core with pre-population, enabling Elavon to offer a branded funding experience directly through its merchant platform.

Benefits to Merchants in US You Should Know

Fast Application, Minimal Paperwork: Merchants in the US can benefit from fast, flexible funding options and an access to capital for eligible small businesses, leveraging Elavon’s merchant data. Besides, “Quick Capital” can lead to fast application and disbursement with minimal paperwork.

A seamless integration within Elavon’s existing merchant portal is another key benefit of this service.

It takes care of funding for key business needs, including inventory, tax payments, marketing, expansion, and cash flow.

Flexible Funding Option: The Fed’s 2024 Small Business Credit Survey has reported that 41 percent of US small businesses experienced decreased revenues for the first time since 2021, signalling growing financial strain and an urgent need for flexible funding options.

Eligible merchants across sectors including healthcare, retail, services, and restaurants will receive tailored offers via direct email and in-platform messaging to match businesses with the right funding solution.

Way Forward for Partnership: Jamie Walker, chief executive officer of Elavon said, “Quick Capital allows our merchants to access capital through a simple, streamlined process and solutions that work with their cash flow, not against it, especially when opportunities or challenges come up unexpectedly.”

“We’re excited to work with Liberis to deliver trusted funding decisions to our customers in minutes.”

Funding is available now in the US, with ongoing enhancements planned based on merchant feedback and funding demand. Liberis and Elavon intend to continue developing their partnership with potential new funding products and enhancements to further streamline the funding experience for merchants.

What Led to Creation of the Funding Service?

As per Elavon, it wanted to address the cashflow concerns of their customers following the challenges posed by the pandemic, which led them to revenue-based finance powered by Liberis.

Elavon researched their existing customers after the pandemic to ascertain how they could best support them. Overwhelmingly, their findings revealed concerns about cash flow and the ability to stay afloat and invest in alternative business models as consumer behaviours shifted.

Elavon Business Finance have increased customer loyalty through access to flexible funding to meet critical business needs. Business growth and a positive customer experience has led to four out of five funded customers taking additional funding after the first round.

Elavon’s partnership with Liberis has already benefitted their customers in the UK and Ireland, and they want to expand the “Elavon Business Finance” product into new markets. “We can’t do this alone – Liberis is a key part of this, and we see our partnership only getting stronger,” said a company statement.
