The programme, called <strong>Capital for eBay Business Sellers (CeBS)<\/strong>, was announced as a solution for the <strong>cashflow problems<\/strong> that many sellers are experiencing due to the pandemic. As the numbers show, 40% of UK\u2019s SMEs were denied a loan from a bank, and 31% from the government. Therefore, eBay and YouLend will allow businesses apply for loans of \u00a3500 to \u00a31 million without mayor paperwork, by completing a simple form. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finextra.com\/newsarticle\/38037\/ebay-to-offer-uk-sellers-loans\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">According to eBay<\/a>, companies will get offers in minutes and receiving funds the same day they accept the offer is also possible. Eventually, YouLend will be joined in the CeBS by two other financing partners that will be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/alternative-financing\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">alternative financing solutions<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <svg class=\"wave\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"280\" height=\"9\" viewBox=\"0 0 280 9\">\n    <path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 3.6c2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.824-1.515C7.724 1.108 9.879 0 13.998 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.644.847 2.943 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515C35.72 1.108 37.874 0 41.995 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.824 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515C63.719 1.108 65.873 0 69.993 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.825-1.515C91.715 1.108 93.87 0 97.99 0c4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.178-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.173-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.055-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.826 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.881 0 4.18-.668 5.827-1.515 1.9-.977 4.056-2.085 8.176-2.085 4.121 0 6.276 1.108 8.177 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.827 1.515s4.181-.668 5.828-1.515C259.718 1.108 261.873 0 265.995 0c4.121 0 6.275 1.108 8.177 2.084 1.645.848 2.946 1.516 5.828 1.516V9h-.007l-5.252-.793c-1.129-.382-2.056-.848-2.919-1.291-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.827-1.516-2.882 0-4.183.669-5.829 1.516-1.9.977-4.056 2.084-8.177 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.647-.847-2.947-1.516-5.828-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.827 1.516-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.176 2.084-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.175-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.826 1.516c-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.945-1.516-5.825-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.174 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.943-1.516-5.823-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.826 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.825-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516c-1.9.977-4.053 2.084-8.173 2.084s-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084c-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C90.265 7.893 88.11 9 83.99 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C62.268 7.893 60.113 9 55.993 9c-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C34.27 7.893 32.116 9 27.996 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C7.311 7.359 1.127 8.618 0 9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article\n    id=\"fintech-news-block-block_60a7b60bd6ec1\"\n    class=\"fintech-news-block block \"\n>\n    <h1 class=\"fintech-news-block-title\">Finextra and Responsible Risk kicked off Sustainable Finance Live<\/h1>\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"column tablet-4 fintech-news-block-image-column\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live-361x203.jpg\" class=\"attachment-case-study-thumbnail size-case-study-thumbnail\" alt=\"Sustainable Finance Live took place on 11-12 May\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live-361x203.jpg 361w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live-178x100.jpg 178w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live-432x243.jpg 432w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sustainable-finance-live.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"column tablet-8\">\n          <h2 class=\"fintech-news-block-subtitle\">The series of virtual events focused on new sustainable solutions in FinTech<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fintech-news-block-content\">\n        <p>The two organisations joined forces to run the digital event from the Sustainable Finance Live series under the title <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finextra.com\/newsarticle\/38022\/sustainable-finance-live-the-state-of-the-market-and-planet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u201cValuing Nature: Better Assessing Financial Risk\u201d<\/a>.
