What is iwocaPay?

iwocaPay is the pay-later checkout option from iwoca, one of Europe's fastest-growing business lenders. Founded in 2012, iwoca has spent over a decade providing finance to UK small businesses and has grown to a team of around 400 across London and Frankfurt. It is a name trusted by tens of thousands of UK businesses, with an Excellent rating on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews.

As a regulated financial services provider, iwoca must adhere to strict financial regulations: iwoca Ltd is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (reference number 791804) and is incorporated in England and Wales (company number 07798925). In short, it is a safe, established way to finance your equipment.

Please note: iwocaPay's Pay Later option is for UK trade customers only — your business must be registered on Companies House with a valid company number (limited companies and LLPs). Sole traders can only use iwocaPay's Pay Now feature, so if you are a sole trader looking to spread the cost, iwocaPay is not the right fit — get in touch and we will do our best to help.

How does it work?

Buy everything you need today and split the cost into equal monthly payments. There is nothing to pay until the 1st of the following month, and you can choose the plan that suits your cash flow:

Payment plan Cost Example on a £4,272 order
Pay in 3 — 3 equal monthly payments Interest-free 3 × £1,424.00
Pay in 12 — 12 equal monthly payments 3.33% per month (representative) 12 × £439.41

Why trade customers use it:

Efficient cash flow

Keep cash in the business while your new equipment starts earning its keep from day one.

Nothing for the first month

Your first instalment is not due until the 1st of the following month.

Increased purchasing power

Take on new contracts or upgrade your machinery without waiting to save the full amount.
