Yardlink
“Can a construction supply chain marketplace own the financial layer — credit, insurance, and payments — between sites and suppliers?”
Founded in 2018, YardLink built a digital marketplace aggregating equipment hire from 1,000+ suppliers for UK construction sites, centralising procurement into a single platform. The company has layered embedded finance onto the core supply chain product — most notably B2B buy-now-pay-later credit via Hokodo and an own-brand Damage Waiver insurance product (YardLink Protect). With $20.5M raised across five funding rounds, YardLink is positioning the platform as the financial and operational OS for construction supply chains, using credit and insurance to increase stickiness and address the working-capital pain points endemic to the sector.
