About us

Meet the team.

Our goal is simple: we want agencies to get paid, faster, on their own terms.

Founded in 2024

At Cheque, we believe agencies shouldn’t have to act like banks for their clients. Cheque lets agencies decide when they get paid by offering flexible due dates with optional early payment incentives, without needing credit lines or third parties.

Today, agencies and small businesses of different sizes use Cheque for their invoicing and payments - mostly so they don't have to chase clients for payments, worry about having cash in the bank when they need it and instead to grow at their own terms.

We have offices in Stockholm and New York, but serve agencies and small businesses across the U.S (with Swedish design principles).

If you're ready to change the way you get paid, get in touch.

Our Story

Founded in 2024

We were founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2024. We (the founders) had spent the last few years at a University incubator as the head of the incubator (Andreas), head of the investment fund (Julia) and co-founder of a startup in the incubator (Sebastian).


We all saw the need for early stage companies and small businesses to access cash when they're growing. For the startups, venture capital was usually the only way, despite many of these companies not being built to work well under the rules set by VCs and external investors.


We knew there had to be a better way.


We did lots of research and learned about dynamic discounting, also called early payment discounts. Enterprises use these all the time, but we'd never heard of it.


So we set out to learn if dynamic discounting could be used for small businesses eager to grow, as well. We interviewed over 100 small business owners and CEOs and learned this is a great tool for businesses that don't want to take on debt, credit or even sell their invoices, just to get their payments on time.


We learned that part of the complications around dynamic discounting is in the discrepancies it creates in your bookkeeping, so first we solved that.


Next, we heard that invoicing easily lagged because you had to collect the client's invoicing information before even sending the invoice, pushing the payment even further into the future. So we solved that.


Now, we are fully focused on incentivizing clients to pay early with discounts they can measure against their own return on capital or annual yields.


In simpler terms, we believe big brands and large enterprises have no incentive to pay small businesses in a timely manner, unless you make it about money. And we help small businesses do exactly that.

Fun fact

"Cheque" is the European/British spelling of check, which is an homage to our home country of Sweden. Checks are still a very common payment method for B2B transactions in the U.S., as they account for 33% of all transactions between businesses (2022), while it was phased out in Sweden in the 1990s. However, the inspiration to name the company Cheque comes from a horse in Julia's stable (called Cheque). You can read more about this horse here.
