Blockchain B2B financing is combining working capital and supplier payments as KEO Capital expands its Workeo platform into Canada. The company has established Workeo Canada following a revolving senior loan facility of up to $50 million with a Canadian bank. Through the platform, approved businesses can access revolving credit to extend payment terms for supplier invoices and operating expenses, while suppliers can receive their receivables sooner. Blockchain infrastructure supports secure, transparent and instant execution of local B2B payments.
From a business perspective, the model addresses cash-flow pressures created by traditional 30-, 60- and 90-day payment cycles. Buyers gain greater flexibility in managing expenses, while faster supplier payments can strengthen relationships and improve liquidity throughout the supply chain. KEO Capital's Canadian expansion also gives the company access to mid-market and enterprise customers across industries such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, retail and healthcare.
