White-Label Embedded Capital: What to Look For in a Platform

A white-label embedded capital platform lets you offer capital under your own brand, with no provider name in front of your customers. Slate does this in three ways: a hosted flow with no engineering, a drop-in banner and white-labeled component, or a full API for a native experience.

What White Label Should Mean

White label is a claim that is easy to make and easy to check. Your customer should see your name, your colours and your words, from the first offer to the last repayment. The provider should be invisible.

Ask to see it. A demo built on your brand beats any description.

A Checklist for Comparing Providers

• Brand. Is the offer, the application, the notifications and the statements all under your name, or only the first screen?
• Who holds the work. Does the provider fund the advance, underwrite it, service it and handle collections, or does your team?
• Who holds the loss. Is credit loss on your balance sheet or theirs?
• How you integrate. Is there a route with no engineering, one with a component, and one with a full API, so you can start small?
• What the platform earns. How is revenue shared, and is it in writing?
• Where it works. Which countries does the provider fund in?

Slate's Three Routes

1. No engineering. Your customers apply in a hosted Slate app that carries your brand. Timeline: days. Engineering: none.
2. Drop-in components. A banner and a white-labeled iframe inside your product. Timeline: under a week. Engineering: about one developer.
3. Full API. A fully white-labeled native capital experience that you build on Slate's API. Timeline: weeks. Engineering: a team.

Most platforms start with the first or second route to validate demand and earn revenue, then go deeper when ready. Slate funds the advances, underwrites, services, runs collections and compliance, and carries the credit loss, as merchant cash advances (MCAs) in Canada. The spread is shared 50/50 with the platform. See how it goes in and how embedded capital programs generate platform revenue.

Common Questions

Which embedded capital platforms offer white-label products?

Several providers do, and the depth varies. Slate offers white label on every route, from a hosted flow to a full API, so your customers see your brand rather than Slate's.

Can a platform start without engineers?

Yes. The no-engineering route uses a hosted application and takes days. The drop-in component takes about one developer and under a week.

Does white label change who carries the risk?

No. Branding is separate from risk. With Slate, Slate carries credit loss whichever route you pick.
