The Future of SME Lending with EvenFi

In a financial ecosystem where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) serve as the backbone of innovation and employment, the startling truth is that a vast financing gap still needs to be filled. The World Bank estimates that micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face an annual financing gap of $5.2 trillion. This void denotes a missed opportunity for economic growth and highlights the urgent need for tailored financial solutions.

At EvenFi, we perceive this gap not as a market failure but as a call to action. Our Lending-as-a-Service (LaaS) model is purpose-built to empower financial institutions to bridge this divide and to support SMEs essential to flourish in today’s economy.

Current SME Lending Climate

Recent reports, such as the one from UK Finance, pinpoint a concerning downturn in SME lending, reaching a post-pandemic low. Yet, amid such contraction, an uptick in loan and overdraft applications indicates a resilient demand for SME finance. The path to economic recovery and growth requires flexible financial support.

SMEs regularly confront funding barriers, with one in four frequently encountering such obstructions. From the pandemic’s economic shake-up to the current inflation and energy prices challenges, SMEs are searching for financial solutions that can revamp their operations and boost their sustainability.
