In recent years, Froda has experienced strong growth and increased its focus on embedded finance. Now, Visma Finance joins as a new partner to Froda Embedded. The collaboration involves the companies jointly launching the new product invoice loans.
Froda's technology platform, Froda Embedded, enables partners to offer business loans and new types of financing solutions to their customers. The partnership with Visma Finance means that small business owners gain more flexibility through a new type of loan product. Unlike a regular business loan, the loan is not paid out to the customer, but instead to automatically pay the invoice.
"With Froda Embedded, we can give more companies the opportunity to offer financing to their customers based on their needs. This contributes to our vision of helping as many entrepreneurs as possible to access financing," says Olle Lundin, CEO and co-founder of Froda.
Visma Finance is one of Sweden's leading actors within invoice financing for small and medium-sized companies. With the partnership, business owners who have received an invoice from a supplier using Visma Finance can split the payment of the invoice through an invoice loan, while the invoicing company does not have to wait for payment.
"We are very pleased with the collaboration with Froda and the opportunities it provides us and our customers. We aim to be a comprehensive solution for small business owners, and Froda has a market-leading product for lending to small businesses that we look forward to offering," says Martin Källum, Chief Product Officer at Visma.
