The Opportunity

Problem

Freelancers in retailtech struggle with cashflow due to delayed payments from risk-averse store owners.

Solution

CashFlowBridge offers instant payment advances for retailtech freelancers by evaluating their pending invoices with store owners. Freelancers upload their invoices, receive a risk assessment, and get up to 80% of the invoice value upfront, repaid with a small fee once the store owner pays. This bridges the cash flow gap and reduces financial stress.

Target Audience

Freelancers in retailtech working with store owners on tech implementations

Differentiator

Unique invoice risk scoring algorithm tailored to retailtech contracts, ensuring faster and safer advances than generic factoring services.
