Koalaboox, founded in 2012 by Frédéric Lodewyk and Jean-Charles Dwelshauvers, operates as a fintech entity focused on serving small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The company is headquartered in Liège, Belgium, and provides an online platform that integrates e-invoicing with a one-click invoice financing solution. This dual offering addresses critical cash flow challenges faced by small businesses, a primary cause of their failure. The business model is structured around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription, generating recurring revenue from clients using the invoicing and management tools. An additional revenue stream comes from transaction-based fees for its invoice financing service, where businesses can receive advances on their outstanding invoices.
The platform is designed to simplify and automate daily financial administration, allowing users to manage quotes, track income and expenses, and monitor customer payments. Its core financing feature is powered by proprietary credit risk algorithms and authentication systems, which assess the creditworthiness of both the client and their debtors to determine eligibility for invoice financing. This technology enables a rapid financing decision, with funds potentially available within 48 hours of an invoice being issued. The financing is supported by a securitization fund based in Luxembourg, KoalaFund, which provides a stable debt financing source. In December 2020, Koalaboox was acquired by Cegid, a major player in business management solutions. This acquisition allowed Cegid to enter the Belgian market and expand its fintech offerings across Europe, while co-founders Frédéric Lodewyk and Jean-Charles Dwelshauvers, along with their team, joined Cegid to further develop the technology on an international scale.
