The Challenge
Cash flow mismanagement is a leading cause of business failure, with 82% of businesses citing it as the main reason they go under. For small business owners and founders, manually handling VAT, budgeting for future expenses, and moving money between accounts is time-consuming and stressful.
Money Squirrel's goal?
To eliminate the hassle of managing cash flow by providing an automated tool that frees up founders to focus on what matters most - growing their businesses.
However, to bring this vision to life, they needed a fast, affordable, and scalable MVP to prove the concept to investors and potential customers.
Why Verticode?
As a founder with nearly a decade of experience in software, Money Squirrel’s founder was well-connected with tech vendors and freelancers. Yet, Verticode stood out.
“Verticode’s focus on budget- and time-friendly MVP products was exactly what we needed, when we needed it."
Unlike other providers, Verticode offered a rare combination of technical expertise and business acumen, making them a perfect fit for a fintech MVP that needed to be both functional and commercially viable.
The Experience
From the initial scoping call to the final delivery, Money Squirrel’s experience with Verticode was overwhelmingly positive.
“It was almost suspiciously positive - until we saw the MVP delivered! The proof is in the [MVP]udding."
Verticode’s flexible and transparent approach stood out.
There were no hard sales tactics, hidden costs, or clock-watching, just genuine support and expertise.
Throughout the build process, Verticode tackled challenges head-on, particularly with the integration of a third-party Open Banking provider (Moneyhub). The project was kept on track and issues were resolved quickly and efficiently.
