I strongly believe: In every crisis lies opportunity. European fintech is consolidating — and we at Teylor AG are actively shaping this shift. That was the central theme of my fireside chat with Dennis Schwarz at FIBE Berlin. There are no shortcuts in B2B fintech. It’s a long-term play. For the first four years, we built Teylor organically — product by product, customer by customer. Today, we are scaling faster through strategic acquisitions. ▪️In 2023, we acquired creditshelf (acquired by Teylor), strengthening our SME lending capabilities in Germany. ▪️Last week, we signed an agreement to acquire grenke’s factoring business, subject to regulatory approval, expanding our footprint across Europe. We looked at over 100 companies. Acquiring while you are still scaling is not straightforward. But it’s possible — if you know what you are looking for. Here is what defines our approach: ▪️Strategic fit comes first: creditshelf expanded our product portfolio and customer base. grenke factoring enables us to scale to a pan-European operation. ▪️Only buy what you understand: We focus on companies that align with our business model, risk framework, and culture. ▪️Move when others pause: Now is not the time to wait. It's the time to build. We believe this is a defining moment for European fintech — and we’re just getting started. Expect more to come. #Teylor #SMELending #DigitalLending
