The story

Lady Suburbia LLC was founded in 2021 by Stephanie Franco as a formalization of a part-time eBay reselling hobby that began in 2017. The business sells electronics, hardware goods, and other items worldwide on eBay. The key embedded finance moment came when Stephanie outgrew thrift-based sourcing and accessed Liberis-powered working capital via eBay's embedded funding program, enabling her to transition from a side hustle to a scalable full-time operation with improved margins.
