Investing in innovation economy companies

to responsibly grow their businesses

Helping our Partners and their B2B clients to responsibly grow their businesses

Innovation economy firms are firms that have higher growth rates on average and thus require more capital to support this growth. Channel has served these innovative companies which often exhibit strong entrepreneurial leadership teams, links to strong global brands, or are employing technology in an innovative fashion.

For several years, we have embraced cloud-based solutions, open-banking, and alternative data in order to drive customer experience and produce efficient outcomes for borrowers. We are committed to easy API integration and the provision of seamless finance.

The current state of the SME lending market

Channel Capital Advisors

SMEs are the backbone of the economy
24 million SMEs in Europe
85% of employment,
60% contribution to GDP

Channel Capital Advisors

SMEs have insufficient finance
1/3 of SMEs in Europe cannot obtain finance

Channel Capital Advisors

Incumbent lenders have failed to provide adequate funding
due to restricted risk appetite and legacy systems

Channel Capital Advisors

Alternative lenders have not sufficiently reduced the SME funding gap due tech limitations and thus can not reduce funding gaps to borrowers

Our solution

Channel combines risk analytics and alternative data and capital to provide a frictionless funding experience to our partners globally.
