The story

Sports4All (S4A) is a UK-based provider of active and creative childcare services, including wraparound care, clubs, and holiday clubs, primarily serving schools and parents via online bookings. The business leveraged revenue-based funding from Liberis to act on time-sensitive growth opportunities, investing in new facilities and hiring staff. The company's embedded finance footprint is minimal, with lending via Liberis as the only confirmed third-party financial services relationship.
