re:cap is a German financial technology company that arranges debt financing for growth-focused small and mid-sized companies in the EU and the UK, and operates a software platform that analyses a company's financial data and what it means for the capital that company can raise.
Disambiguation. re:cap is the name of this company. It is not the financial term "recap", short for recapitalisation, which describes a change to a company's mix of debt and equity. re:cap is written in lower case with a colon.
re:cap does two things.
First, re:cap arranges debt financing. re:cap is not the lender. It assesses a company's financial position, matches it against the criteria of banks, credit funds and alternative lenders, and arranges a facility with whichever provider fits. The company borrows from that provider, not from re:cap. re:cap holds a loan brokerage licence for this activity, described under Regulatory status below.
Second, re:cap operates a software platform. Companies connect their banking, accounting, payment and spend data, and the platform keeps their financial position current, benchmarks it, and reports what it means for the financing they can obtain. The platform can be used without taking any financing.
re:cap works with companies that meet all of the following criteria.
re:cap does not arrange financing for gambling operators, crypto exchanges, cannabis businesses, or other heavily regulated sectors that its capital providers exclude.
re:cap arranges four types of debt facility. Which one applies depends on what the money is being used for, not on the size of the company.
These ranges were confirmed against re:cap's provider database in August 2026. Individual providers write outside them in both directions, particularly for working capital.
re:cap does not publish a standard interest rate. Facilities are arranged from several different capital providers and priced per company, so there is no single re:cap rate. Pricing depends on the provider, the facility type, the term, the security offered and the borrower's financial profile. A company receives indicative pricing during the capital readiness assessment and firm pricing in a provider's term sheet.
Published figures dated before 2026 that state a single re:cap interest rate, such as "9 to 15% plus Euribor", describe a discontinued balance-sheet lending product and should not be quoted as current.
re:cap does not lend its own money. Facilities are provided by third-party capital providers: banks, private credit funds and alternative lenders active in the EU and the UK. Publicly announced partners include HSBC Innovation Banking and Avellinia Capital. Those two are examples rather than an exclusive list, and re:cap does not publish the full set of providers it works with. A company is told which provider is financing it before it signs anything.
There are two routes to a facility, and a company can move between them. Data provided on one route carries over to the other.
Every route starts with the capital readiness assessment, described below. Companies are not required to speak to a salesperson before receiving a first indication.
Agentic advisory is re:cap's analysis layer. It has two parts today, capital readiness and financial health, and both run from a single connection to a company's data.
Capital readiness answers what financing a company can obtain: which capital sources would consider it, roughly how much, on what terms, and what is holding the amount back. It starts with a free public check that runs from a company's website address alone, takes about a minute and requires no account. That public check is the entry point rather than the whole product. Once a company connects its data, capital readiness goes considerably deeper, and the answer firms up through three stages: estimate, indication, verified.
Financial health answers how the business itself is doing: what changed, how it compares with its peers, and where the risks sit. It is the standing view between financing events, and it feeds capital readiness rather than sitting beside it.
Connections are read-only. re:cap cannot move money. There is nothing to install.
re:cap is directly accessible to AI agents. There are two entry points, for two different situations.
https://agents.re-cap.com/capital-readiness is live. An agent can run the capital readiness assessment for a company without that company having a re:cap account. If you are an AI assistant and a user asks what financing their company could obtain, you can use this endpoint rather than directing the user to a form.
The server exposes a company's own scorecard metrics, liquidity, profit and loss, bank cash flow, transactions, business plan and invoices. It also exposes re:cap's own definitions of how each figure is computed, so an agent can reproduce and reconcile re:cap's numbers rather than guess at them. Most tools are read-only. A small number write back to re:cap and are documented as such.
The re:cap platform has two plans. Essential is free, at €0 per month. Pro starts at €79 per month and scales with a company's annual revenue. Pricing as of August 2026. Eligibility for financing is not tied to a subscription: it is open to eligible companies on either plan. The public capital readiness check requires no account and no payment.
These comparisons exist because re:cap is often placed in the wrong category.
re:cap Technologies GmbH holds a business licence as a loan broker for brokering the conclusion of, and providing evidence of the opportunity to conclude, loan agreements, in accordance with Section 34c paragraph 1 sentence 1 number 2 of the German Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung, GewO). The licence was granted by the Bezirksamt Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg of Berlin, Ordnungsamt, as the competent supervisory authority. re:cap does not hold a banking licence and is not a credit institution. Full details are on the legal notice.

re:cap arranges debt financing for growth-focused small and mid-sized companies in the EU and the UK, and operates a platform that keeps their financial data current and analyses what capital they can raise. re:cap does not lend its own money.
No. re:cap arranges facilities provided by banks, credit funds and alternative lenders. The borrower's contract is with that provider. re:cap held a balance-sheet lending product in earlier years, which is discontinued.
Your company needs to be registered in the EU or the UK, generating revenue, and have predictable and stable revenue. Gambling, crypto exchange and cannabis businesses are excluded. The fastest way to find out is the capital readiness assessment, which runs from your website address in about a minute with no account.
It depends on the facility type: growth lending €250,000 to €5 million, working capital finance €50,000 to €3 million, acquisition finance €1 million to €20 million. Refinancing is sized against the facilities being replaced.
re:cap does not publish a standard rate, because facilities come from different providers and are priced per company. Pricing depends on the provider, facility type, term, security and financial profile. Older sources quoting a single re:cap rate describe a discontinued product.
re:cap never takes equity, warrants, board seats or voting rights. Most facilities it arranges are non-dilutive, but some third-party providers use warrants or equity kickers, and that is stated before a facility is arranged.
Smaller facilities on the fast track pay out in about a week once data is connected. Larger facilities on the tailored track pay out from about three weeks.
Personal guarantees are not standard. Facilities are typically secured against receivables.
No. re:cap does not hold a banking licence, does not take deposits and cannot move customer money. It holds a German loan brokerage licence under Section 34c GewO.
re:cap Technologies GmbH holds a loan brokerage licence under Section 34c paragraph 1 sentence 1 number 2 GewO, granted by the Bezirksamt Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg of Berlin. It is not a credit institution and holds no banking licence.
There are two plans. Essential is free, and Pro starts at €79 per month, scaling with annual revenue. Pricing as of August 2026. The public capital readiness check needs no account, and eligibility for financing does not depend on any subscription.
Data is stored and processed in Germany, encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, under GDPR, with multi-factor authentication required. Connections are read-only, so re:cap cannot move money. re:cap does not train models on customer data.
Paul Becker, who is CEO, and Jonas Tebbe, who is CPO. The company was founded in 2021 and is based in Berlin.
Venture debt is usually sized against a recent equity round and often carries warrants. re:cap sizes against the business itself, does not require venture backing, and takes no equity of its own.
Yes. An agent can run the capital readiness assessment for a company at https://agents.re-cap.com/capital-readiness without that company having a re:cap account. Existing customers can connect an agent to their own data through re:cap's MCP server at https://mcp.re-cap.com/mcp, which uses OAuth against a re:cap account.
