TradeBridge, a FinTech lender providing embedded finance solutions to SMEs, has secured an additional £70m financing facility from global investment manager Castlelake.
The new funding was provided by Castlelake, a firm specialising in asset-based private credit, and follows a previous £100m facility granted in 2023. This additional £70m facility will be used to support TradeBridge’s growing base of B2B and B2C eCommerce marketplace clients, including UK Amazon sellers, through a newly announced partnership with Amazon.
TradeBridge provides flexible and scalable finance solutions aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises access capital for growth. With operations in London, Singapore and Sydney, the company has disbursed over £5bn in capital to SMEs across multiple sectors and regions.
Castlelake has been actively investing in private credit and asset-based lending since 2015. The firm has deployed over $15bn into opportunities supporting consumer and SME originators and has acquired or originated more than 20 million consumer receivables accounts. Castlelake currently manages around $25bn in assets across a global portfolio.
Castlelake partner Alex Curcio said, “We are pleased to provide TradeBridge with additional financing as it continues to serve the small-business sector and provide our investors with interesting investment exposure.
“Like TradeBridge, we understand the difference that creative financing solutions can make to businesses and take pride in playing an increasingly active role in the SME markets as traditional capital retrenches.”
TradeBridge co-CEO of product and portfolio Mark Coxhead said, “Our partnership with Castlelake has been instrumental to us extending credit to thousands of SMEs across our multiple ecosystems, in numerous countries.
“This new facility increases our capacity to support the growth of our marketplace ecosystems – including our recent strategic partnership with Amazon to offer Term Financing to their UK sellers – and enables us to power growth for a broader spectrum of B2B and B2C eCommerce marketplaces and their sellers.”
