Deutsche Firmenkredit Partner receives five million euros

The start-up specializes in brokering corporate loans - and offers products from many different banks and financiers.

Fintech Deutsche Firmenkredit Partner (DFKP) has successfully completed its seed financing round and raised around five million euros. DFKP was able to attract new investors: Robert Haselsteiner and Marcus Wolsdorf, the founders of Interhyp, Germany's largest mortgage broker according to the company. They joined DFKP via their investment company HW Capital.

"Paul Weber and his team have built up an impressive performance in a short space of time and are driving innovation in this market," says Robert Haselsteiner. "That convinced us and reminded us of the early years at Interhyp." Apparently, this is an important reason for the investment: "DFKP has the potential to become the Interhyp of corporate customer financing."

DFKP was founded in 2019 and brokers working capital loans, investment loans, leasing and installment plan as well as purchase financing solutions. Around 70 banks and specialist financiers are connected to the start-up, enabling DFKP to lend to small and medium-sized enterprises.

The credit process runs via a digital platform. But it's not all digital: corporate customer advisors also work for DFKP. In 2021, over 90 million euros in financing volume was brokered to partner banks, according to the company. This corresponds to a 2.5-fold increase compared to 2020.
