Hear from our partners
Since partnering with YouLend, Epos Now has seen a significant uplift in business funding to our customers compared to previous partners we have used. This is due to the agnostic, flexible, and automated capital offering now in place.
By partnering with YouLend, our sellers have access to fast and flexible business funding that can help them manage cashflows and focus on the bigger business challenges ahead.
YouLend has been an excellent partner to provide cash advance funding to our merchants. The APIs are very rich and well-documented and the solutions team made it a breeze to go live.
After going live, the team have been committed to working with us to continually enhance the merchant experience.
Through our new partnership with YouLend, we can place funds in the hands of businesses that would have been otherwise locked out of funding, or would only have access to slow and expensive options.
We’re excited to keep exploring new ways to help our customers grow with fast, transparent, and flexible funding products.
By partnering with YouLend, we can offer restaurants - our customers - access to fast and flexible financing that will help them manage their cashflow, overcome the any bumps on the way, and then grow sustainably.

Frequently asked questions
By applying online, you can typically get a quote the same day.
The best way to apply is through the personalised link shared with you by one of our partners, for example your e-commerce platform or payment service provider.
In the application, you will be asked to tell us more about your business and your online and/or card terminal sales. This application can take as little as 5 minutes and our team are always available to assist if you have any questions.
You can also apply for funding directly with YouLend if you do not have a personalised link from one of our partners. To start your application, sign up here.
You can use the funding for any business purpose - the choice is completely up to you! Most of our applicants use the funding for buying stock, investing in advertising, carrying out refurbishments or adding a new location.
Offers are based on an assessment of your online and/or card terminal sales history.
The longer you've been trading and the higher your monthly revenue is, the better your offers will be. We can offer up to two times your monthly revenue in funding.
As an example, if you have an ecommerce business that has sales of £10,000 each month on average, and you started your business 12 months ago, you could be eligible for £15,000 in funding with a fixed fee of £1,500 and repayment of 20% of your daily sales.
Repayment will happen automatically as a pre-agreed fixed percentage of daily sales.
For example, if your repayment percentage is 20% of daily sales and you made £1,000 in sales on a given day, then £200 would go towards repayment and £800 would go to you. On days without sales, you will not repay anything.
Unlike traditional business loans with an interest rate that is always ticking, your YouLend financing adjusts to your cash flows without any extra fees or charges.
No. You will only be charged a single fixed fee, so you know exactly what you will repay up front.
Once you have been funded by us at least once, you can usually get quotes for additional funding and, subject to approval, you will usually receive the funding the same day that you request it.
To find out your outstanding balance, you can simply log in to your YouLend account which shows you your full payment history.
Yes, you can always make one-off payments free of charge if you would like to.You don't have to, however, most merchants prefer the flexibility of simply repaying in accordance with their fixed repayment percentage at no extra cost.
