London | Belgrade, October 30th, 2025: Finkr, a next-generation consultancy dedicated to reshaping the fintech landscape through visionary strategy and capital access, today announced it acted as lead adviser to Finspot, securing a €25 million debt facility from Fasanara Capital, supporting the deal from initial outreach through completion. The transaction marks a significant milestone for all parties involved, enabling Finspot to accelerate its mission of providing alternative financing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Southeast Europe (SEE) and beyond, while representing Finkr’s inaugural transaction and first major advisory deal since its debut in 2024.
Commenting on the debt facility agreement, Matt Kus, Partner and Head of Origination at Fasanara Capital, said: “We are delighted to partner with Finspot, whose technology-driven approach to SME financing aligns perfectly with Fasanara’s vision of supporting next-generation fintech innovation across Europe. This transaction reflects our confidence in the potential of high-growth markets such as the SEE and our commitment to backing exceptional teams driving financial inclusion. It also reflects the value of working with specialist advisers like Finkr, whose rigorous, hands-on support of Finspot helped bring a complex cross-border deal to a successful close.”
Finspot represents the kind of forward-thinking client that Finkr was built to support - ambitious, tech-driven, and redefining access to finance in emerging markets. It is one of the most innovative fintech lenders in the region, and the only one of its kind in Serbia. Finspot has built its entire platform in-house, developing a sophisticated technology stack that screens, scores, services and provides financing to SMEs through invoice factoring - a much-needed alternative to traditional bank lending.
“We’re incredibly proud to have supported Finspot on this landmark deal, not just as our first transaction but as a reflection of what Finkr stands for: bridging visionary fintechs and forward-thinking investors,” said Ion Fratiloiu, CEO and Co-founder of Finkr. “This is a significant step for all parties and underscores how collaboration and innovation can unlock growth, even in the most complex markets.”
Finkr advised Finspot throughout the entire process, from sourcing the investor and guiding due diligence to navigating the complexities of a cross-border transaction in a challenging market. The deal also highlights Fasanara Capital’s continued appetite to back emerging-market fintech lenders and its growing collaboration with high-growth regional players.
Miljan Gudelj, Jovan Milovanovic, and Ognjen Kurtic, Co-founders of Finspot, commented: “Securing this facility marks a major step forward for Finspot and for the SMEs we serve. It allows us to scale our impact, strengthen our technology platform, and extend faster, more flexible financing options to businesses that are too often underserved by traditional lenders. We’re grateful to Fasanara Capital for their trust, and to Finkr for their guidance throughout what was a complex but deeply collaborative process.”
