Flexible business finance

Epos Now Capital is a funding scheme tailored to the value of the card payments your business receives and future potential. It offers a fixed cost for the funding, agreed upfront, providing clarity on your future payments and income. It is designed especially for small and middle-sized enterprises. 

Repayments are agreed as a percentage amount of your Payouts, each day that you receive a Payout. The repayment amount will  be automatically deducted from your payouts until the funding amount is fully repaid (Applies to both Capital providers, for more specificity see “How Does Repayment Work). This repayment happens automatically and mirrors your cash flow, also making it ideal for seasonal businesses.

Epos Now Capital funding can be used for different purposes including refurbishment, hiring staff, purchasing inventory, expanding premises, equipment upgrades – or whatever your business needs may be.

Epos Now have partnered with Adyen and YouLend to bring you this product.

Adyen facilitates financing to Epos Now customers as part of Epos Now Capital. Adyen’s system helps us provide the best financing arrangement offers based on your business profile. These offers will only be available to Epos Now Payments customers. ction. This process will repeat until the advance is fully repaid.

YouLend facilitates financing to our Epos Now customers as another option to Adyen. YouLend are an agnostic provider of funding agreements, which means they can facilitate financing to all payments providers that Epos Now work (e.g. Dojo, Paymentsense, Global Payments). 

To be eligible for funding your business must meet the following criteria:

• Be either a limited business
• Have been actively trading using Epos Now Payments for at least 3 months with a volume of over £1,000 traded per month.

If this criteria has not been met, then your business will not be offered funding via Epos Now Capital.

Adyen have updated what their Capital funding is qualified as. It was previously a “merchant cash advance” which could be offered to Sole Traders and Limited Companies alike, however with their system updates at the end of May 2025 the business financing type is now qualified as a “Loan” which cannot be offered to Sole Traders after this point. Any existing agreements prior to June 2025, can be repaid as normal however will only be offered the YouLend funding type as “New Offers” through the Epos Now Back Office.

The Epos Now Capital offers show for our merchants who are pre-qualified by the trading numbers they are doing through their Epos Now system. As part of YouLend’s application process they will look at all of your transactional history you provide via bank statements or Open Banking Data so will be able to take more income streams into account that your Epos Now system might not capture as data. You can apply through the page on the Epos Now App Store for more information if you are not seeing offers yet. 

The main difference is who can apply for each. Epos Now Capital via Adyen is only applicable to Epos Now Payments customers, who have been trading for more than 3 months. Epos Now Capital via YouLend can fund any of our merchants trading through any card transaction provider we work with. 

There is also another difference between the lending limits between the two providers:

Epos Now Capital via Adyen was established in December 2023 as part of our product offering, with Adyen being relatively “new” to the lending market they are openly more cautious than other lenders out there, with less credit checks and a much lower cost (fixed fee). This means that they currently have a lending cap of £21,000 established. This is continually being reviewed and we expect them to up the cap soon to increase the amount of merchants they can help with funding of this type. 

Epos Now Capital via YouLend was established in January 2022, with YouLend being their own entity of funding dating back to 2016 who have a more established lending platform and process which enables them to scale their funding up to £1,000,000 where appropriate.

The amount of financing and repayment is calculated through a proactive risk assessment of your business based on your card payment transactions. This assessment is carried out by Adyen and YouLend, and the outcome results in the offers displayed to you (full offers for Adyen, pre-qualified offers for YouLend).

For Epos Now Capital via Adyen the offers start at a minimum of £500 and can be up to £19,500 depending on your business profile. 

For Epos Now Capital via YouLend the offers start at a minimum of £1500 and can be up to £1,000,000 depending on your business profile.

The Epos Now Capital (via Adyen) repayment amount is automatically deducted from your daily payout amount until fully repaid, and is deducted before your payout is transferred into your account.

Epos Now Capital (via YouLend) works under the same remit, with an additional step of your payouts flowing through a dedicated YouLend Settlement account where the repayment can be deducted before payouts are transferred to you on the same timeline. YouLend account managers help with this process during the final stages of the application process, but it is a requirement of getting funding from them. 

Via Adyen: This is possible, but not the smooth process we want yet. Currently you would need to email “Capital@eposnow.com” with the request to bulk repay via Adyen. This needs to include your Epos Now Account number, and why you are looking to repay the funding earlier than the agreement states. Adyen then take 48 hours to get back to the request with payment details you can make the payment to, the payment must come from an account used for your payouts with Epos Now Payments. 

Via YouLend: Yes, this is possible, YouLend can facilitate a multitude of payment gateways/types in order for you to repay your outstanding agreement with them. Contact them on support@youlend.com or +44 203 827 2870

Yes, your Epos Now Capital offers automatically expire, and new ones are displayed on a weekly basis. Please note that each new Epos Now Capital offer is determined by the latest trading data, and the maximum amount we can offer might change over time.

You can use the Epos Now Capital financing arrangement for any business purpose. Most businesses will use the funds to buy inventory, invest in advertising, carry out refurbishments, add a new location, or manage temporary operational disruptions.

YouLend reach out after a few hours to check/verify the information and then get official funding offers back to you within 24 hours. Funding can be provided by YouLend within a few days of the initial application. 

The Epos Now Capital financing arrangement will be paid to the bank account selected during the application process. This may be an Epos Now My Business account or an external bank account.
