Analysing over 100,000 cases of merchant financing from YouLend and comparing it to Experian\u2019s data about the market, the study also uncovered that last year YouLend offered 90% approval rates for applicants, well above the 64% average in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the findings,<strong> Mikkel S\u00f8lvsten Velin, YouLend Co-Founder and Co-CEO,<\/strong> said,\u00a0\u201cOur report confirmed that female-led businesses face more barriers when accessing much-needed finance than male-led businesses do. Positively, we also found that embedded finance can break down those barriers through new distribution channels and unbiased underwriting models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concludes: \u201cWhilst we are proud of our social impact at YouLend, there is much more to be done to ensure equitable access to finance for businesses in the UK, particularly during the cost of living crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>YouLend and Experian\u2019s study reveals that embedded financing models are generally more effective in providing capital for underserved communities in the UK. Embedded finance models place financial products in a nonfinancial customer experience, journey, or platform without redirecting to traditional financial institutions. This allows excluded groups to apply for flexible, agnostic, and affordable financing.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over half (58%) of YouLend\u2019s SME capital segment went toward the two most deprived regions in the UK<\/li>\n<li>29% of all applications YouLend receives are from female-led businesses, outperforming the national average of 17% on application and approvals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Access to vital financial support for SMEs is essential to power growth on a local level. The data shows that by the end of H1 2023, SMEs contributed an additional \u00a36.8 billion in revenue to the UK GDP and increased employee headcount by 14% by receiving financing from YouLend.<\/p>\n<h4>Women-led businesses receive 18% more of total funding at YouLend than UK average<\/h4>\n<p>Aggregate data from the British Business Bank suggests that female-led businesses could be more price-sensitive to the cost of external capital and are more likely to see the application process as a barrier, with concerns such as risk and time to cash ranking higher than other groups.<\/p>\n<p>While 19% of all businesses are led by women, only 12% of total investments are directed towards women-led businesses.\u00a0With our agnostic credit decisioning model, a greater proportion of YouLend financing is directed towards SMEs with female directors or equal leadership teams. 29% of all applications received by YouLend are female-led businesses, compared to 17% at national average, and YouLend approves 30% of total funding for female-led businesses, compared to the UK average of 12%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35621,"featured_media":520713,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[11395,11368,19264],"tags":[23986,13675,29033,13042,19247,21391,11753,23616,30132,13029,27421],"class_list":["post-564351","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics","category-core-banking","category-ibsi-flagship-offerings","tag-banks-in-uk","tag-british-business-bank","tag-embedded-b2b-payments","tag-embedded-finance","tag-financial-institution","tag-fintech-news","tag-smes","tag-uk-fintech","tag-women-entrepreneurs","tag-women-in-fintech","tag-youlend"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Embedded finance providers are more likely to finance women-led SMEs, study shows - IBS Intelligence<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is the world\u2019s only pure-play Financial Technology focused research, advisory, and fintech news analysis firm, with a 30-year track record and clients globally.
