What CreditLinks does

CreditLinks GmbH is a Frankfurt-based B2B SaaS company founded in 2017 that operates a cloud-based platform connecting three constituencies in the corporate financing market — corporates (Unternehmen), lenders (Kreditgeber), and financial advisors (Berater) — across the full lifecycle of financing transactions. The platform is built around two interconnected workspace concepts: a Corporate Workspace that serves as a structured, access-controlled repository for a borrower's master and financial data, and transaction-specific Project Workspaces that allow configuration of data and document exchange with one or more financing partners, from bilateral loans to broadly syndicated deals. Core features include data linking (corporate data auto-populates project workspaces), version control and approval logic, contextual Q&A management organized by transaction and counterparty, team management for internal collaboration, activity tracking for audit traceability, and a centralized Cockpit/Dashboard providing an overview of all financing activities across clients.

The underlying technology is a web-based SaaS architecture with self-serve registration and onboarding via app.creditlinks.de, no client-side installation required, and complete data hosting on systems domiciled in Germany under German law — a positioning that addresses data-residency and audit requirements of regulated corporate borrowers and lenders. CreditLinks monetizes through subscription or usage-based fees paid by corporates, lenders, and advisors accessing the platform; specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed and the go-to-market combines self-serve registration with a demo-request sales motion targeting mid-to-large corporates, banks, debt funds, and leasing companies primarily in the DACH region.

The company is privately held by its founders — Tilo Kraus and Michael Moritz serve as Managing Directors, Dr. Alexander Mann chairs the Supervisory Board (Beirat), and the broader co-founding team combines senior corporate and leveraged finance experience at IKB, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Dresdner, MainFirst, and Commerzbank with technical leadership. Headcount is reported at 1–10, no external funding rounds beyond early 2017 incubation at the EY Startup Academy are disclosed, and the platform is the company's core and only disclosed product.
