Sourcing as a service

Company

BuyHive addresses the growing demand of buyers worldwide for efficient ways of sourcing quality products directly from factories in Asia, by connecting them with sourcing experts.


Born during the pandemic, BuyHive tackled the PPE demand surge with its network of freelance sourcing experts.

Challenges

Inability to meet up with demand

BuyHive's rapid success led to overwhelming growth.


With over a 100,000 users, and 5,000 sourcing experts, they were unable to keep up with the growth.

Pandemic practices like upfront cash payments to suppliers also strained their finances.

Inability to secure traditional financing

BuyHive required significant cash flow to handle big purchases while managing ongoing orders, but as a growing company with little assets, they struggled to secure loans from traditional financiers.

Our solution

Choco Up's flexible financing, perfect for businesses like BuyHive, quickly provided $2.2 million to fulfil large orders without cash flow disruptions.

While traditional financiers may struggle to grasp the needs of businesses like BuyHive, Choco Up was specifically designed to support these businesses.
