Wayflyer secures $250M to expand SME funding capabilities

Wayflyer, a Dublin-based provider of working capital for rapidly growing small businesses, announced it has secured a $250 million credit facility in partnership with ATLAS SP Partners. The two-year agreement marks a significant step in strengthening Wayflyer’s ability to deliver flexible financing solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) worldwide.

ATLAS, a warehouse finance and securitized products business majorly owned by Apollo funds, provided the facility. The deal highlights confidence in Wayflyer’s data-driven underwriting model, disciplined scaling approach, and strong portfolio performance.

"Closing this facility with ATLAS is a strong vote of confidence in Wayflyer’s model and performance", said Aidan Corbett, CEO and Co-founder of Wayflyer. "Scaling responsibly alongside leading global financial institutions enhances our ability to provide fast, flexible capital to more founders, helping businesses invest in growth, and navigate volatility with greater confidence", he added.

Supporting small businesses with flexible funding

Wayflyer has deployed over $6 billion in growth capital to thousands of businesses globally since its launch in 2020. The company specializes in providing non-dilutive funding for entrepreneurs, enabling them to scale their operations by financing key areas such as inventory, marketing, and expansion. By addressing the unmet capital needs of small businesses often underserved by traditional banks, Wayflyer has become a trusted partner for ambitious founders.

The newly secured $250 million credit facility will allow Wayflyer to further expand its reach and help more entrepreneurs with clear growth strategies access the funding they need. The company’s recent performance, including surpassing $100 million in annual revenues, underscores its ability to grow responsibly while maintaining credit quality.

Andrew Koepke, Director at ATLAS, emphasized the importance of the partnership by stating, "We are pleased to provide Wayflyer with additional capital. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering meaningful financing solutions to our clients."

Expanding operations in North America

As part of its ongoing growth, Wayflyer recently expanded its presence in the U.S., a key market for the company. It has established a U.S. hub in Charlotte, North Carolina, complementing its existing operations in New York City. This expansion positions the company to better serve the increasing demand for flexible, non-dilutive capital among online merchants in the region.

The momentum behind Wayflyer’s growth reflects a broader trend of SMEs seeking alternative funding methods to navigate economic volatility while pursuing ambitious growth plans.
