FAQ

Answers to common questions

Caplia offers banks a bespoke setup service. We build your client workspace, configure your onboarding flows and calibrate Phronel to your early-stage book, so your teams run on infrastructure shaped around how you serve founders.

Caplia gives banks a dedicated platform to onboard early-stage clients, understand their capital readiness and track progress across the portfolio. Founders get the Caplia Passport, the Caplia Readiness Index and Phronel, while your teams get intelligence across every company you bank.

Founders get tools they use every week to organise their business, understand their readiness and raise. Offering this as part of banking with you makes your proposition stronger than an account alone.

A live view of readiness and progress shows which clients are growing, which need support and which are approaching a raise, so your teams can support them early and bring the right lending or product conversation at the right time.

Most bank workspaces can be configured and ready for client onboarding within a few days, depending on the size of your early-stage book, branding and how your teams are structured.

No. Caplia complements your existing CRM and systems. It adds a capital readiness and client intelligence layer, and connects to your own tools through API and MCP.

Yes. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is role-based and logged, and Phronel never shares or trains on your data. ISO 27001 certification is in progress.

Pricing is based on the number of early-stage clients you support, the setup required and whether you need custom reporting or branded access. Talk to our team for a tailored proposal.
