Liberis and Iwoca offer third-party merchant cash advances against the same card receivables (typical 12-25% factor rate, more flexible). For B2B revenue alongside card sales, selective invoice finance from Hydr, Triver or Kriya covers the gap.

Stripe / PayPal Merchant Finance UK FAQ

Can I get invoice finance against Stripe or PayPal payouts UK?

Direct invoice finance against card payouts is rare because they're not B2B invoices in the legal sense. The relevant products are revenue-based: Stripe Capital (automatic to qualifying Stripe merchants), PayPal Working Capital (automatic to qualifying PayPal merchants), or third-party merchant cash advances from Liberis or Iwoca. A handful of specialist lenders accept aggregated card payouts as financeable for B2B-led businesses; consult Capitalise or Funding Options brokers.

What is Stripe Capital?

Stripe Capital is a working capital loan offered to qualifying Stripe merchants. Loan size scales with monthly Stripe revenue (typical £5k-£500k). Repayments deducted automatically as 5-30% of future Stripe payouts until repaid. APR equivalent typically 8-15%. Application takes minutes, decision in 24 hours, no paperwork because Stripe already has your data. Eligibility based on Stripe payment history and account standing.

PayPal Working Capital eligibility UK?

Available to UK businesses processing £15k+ per year via PayPal Business with at least 3 months of PayPal history. Loan size scales with PayPal revenue, typically up to 35% of trailing 12-month PayPal sales. Single fixed fee (typically 12-25% of loan amount). Repayments deducted as 10-30% of future PayPal sales until repaid. No personal guarantees required.

Stripe Capital vs invoice finance UK?

Stripe Capital: revenue-based, repaid via card sales, 8-15% APR equivalent, fast/frictionless, only for Stripe merchants. Invoice finance: debt-based, repaid via specific B2B invoices, 0.5-3% fee per invoice, requires B2B invoicing, more flexible facility size. Many businesses use both: Stripe Capital for card revenue, invoice finance for B2B wholesale invoices alongside.

Best UK alternatives to Stripe Capital?

Liberis (the leading UK merchant cash advance specialist), Iwoca (revenue-based business loans), Funding Circle (term loans against card revenue), 365 Business Finance (cash advances for retailers and ecommerce). All four work with card receivables as the underlying repayment source. Get quotes from at least two; pricing varies materially by sector and trading history.

Can I combine invoice finance and Stripe Capital?

Yes. Stripe Capital and invoice finance fund different revenue streams (card sales vs B2B invoices) and don't conflict. Many ecommerce wholesalers use Stripe Capital for retail card revenue plus invoice finance from Hydr or Kriya for B2B wholesale invoices. Confirm with both providers before facility setup, but in practice most lenders are comfortable coexisting because their security/repayment sources don't overlap.
