About us
Liberis is on a mission to supercharge the power of small businesses all over the world - delivering the financial products they need to grow through a network of global partners.
Before all else, Liberis is a technology company, connecting finance with small businesses.

Up to now we have funded almost 40,000 small businesses with over $1.5bn - but we believe there is much more to be done.
