Birmingham tech firm concludes international collaboration partnership

A Birmingham technology firm has extended its global reach by agreeing a new international collaboration.

Innovation Birmingham Campus-based start-up, Liquidity Exchange, has entered into a partnership with debt collection firm, Atradius Collections.

Founded in 2016, Liquidity Exchange helps SMEs access finance. It claims to be the first business of its kind to offer both access to finance and a platform for its clients to trade with other companies.

Atradius Collections is one of the world’s leading B2B debt collection firms with offices in 25 countries, providing invoice collection and verification services in 96% of the countries where it has a presence.

The new partnership will enable companies that trade through Liquidity Exchange to tap into the Atradius debt collection service.

Tope Odugbesan, CEO of Liquidity Exchange, said the partnership offered major benefits to its clients and would enable them to trade with more confidence.

“We are currently holding discussions with several notable financial lenders and insurance companies and look forward to speaking with other potential clients in the very near future as the company continues to go from strength-to-strength,” he said.

Liquidity Exchange is one of 136 tech start-ups to progress through the IBC’s Entrepreneurs for the Future programme since November 2009.

With more than £13.3m raised in initial investment rounds, the programme has contributed to the creation of more than 400 new jobs.
