BASE, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuta Tsuruoka), which operates the e-commerce platform 'BASE,' announced on May 25, 2026, the official launch of 'Invoice Factoring.' This service enables shops using 'BASE' to receive early payment for invoices issued to their business partners.

About 'Invoice Factoring' Under this service, BASE purchases the receivables based on invoices issued by the shop, allowing them to access cash before the original payment date. The service can be used without the business partner being aware, and funds are deposited into the specified account as early as the next business day after the application.

While BASE previously offered 'YELL BANK,' which evaluates future receivables using AI and user data, this new service addresses broader cash flow needs, such as wholesale transactions for physical stores or pop-up shops. Based on the positive results of a Proof of Concept (PoC) for 'Invoice Factoring' started in 2024, the service has been formally rolled out under this new name.
