LaaS for financial institutions
Merchant Cash Advance
Supply Chain Finance
Beehive provides the technology for a financial institution to offer digitized Supply Chain Finance (SCF). SCF is a product to support an SME’s working capital through the early payment of outstanding invoices. Corporates meanwhile benefit from strengthening and simplifying their supply chain.
Working Capital Finance
Beehive’s technology enables financial institutions to efficiently offer Working Capital Finance (WCF). SMEs can either receive cash advances against outstanding invoices or receive cash to pay suppliers against current purchase orders.
WCF is therefore a highly flexible, short term financing tool for SMEs and allows a Financial Institution to digitize this process, improve operational efficiency and perform granular lending.
