Wayflyer, the Dublin-based global working capital provider for small businesses, has signed a three-year forward-flow agreement with funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group under which Fortress will purchase up to $1.5 billion of assets originated through the Wayflyer platform. Rather than warehousing loans on its own balance sheet, the structure lets Wayflyer originate and pass eligible receivables to a committed institutional buyer, freeing up capital to recycle faster and fund more small businesses while continuing to invest in product development. The deal extends Wayflyer’s total funding capacity, positioning the company to deploy up to $4.5 billion in capital to small businesses over the next 24 months, and follows a $250 million credit facility with ATLAS SP Partners announced earlier this year. Since launching in 2020, Wayflyer has deployed over $6 billion in working capital to brands worldwide.
