How a Berlin iPhone Store Nearly Doubled Its Revenue

itmops is a Berlin-based company that refurbishes used Apple products. Since 2013, founder Uwe Göpel and his team, together with their pug “Hugo”, have been putting high-quality iPhones and iPads back on the market: tested, cleaned, and sold with a warranty. By focusing on quality and sustainability, itmops combines environmental awareness with smart business thinking, offering a strong alternative to buying new.
When a business partner from the system catering industry suddenly requested a three-digit number of iPads, the technical side was no problem for itmops. The devices were available, and the know-how was there. The real hurdle: pre-financing.
With capital-intensive products like Apple devices, high costs arise long before revenue is realized. Traditional banks were not an option due to long processing times and bureaucratic procedures. The liquidity limit had been reached, a situation itmops was already familiar with from past experiences.
“The procurement was never the problem, it was the financing. Everything has to be paid upfront, and that’s exactly where we kept hitting our limits.”
In search of a fast and hassle-free financing solution, itmops came across Banxware’s Sofortfinanzierung. The entire application was completed digitally within just a few minutes, without paperwork or collateral.
With the capital provided, a major order from the system catering sector could be fulfilled immediately. At the same time, itmops used the financing to expand its product range and take on additional large-scale customer projects.
And the results speak for themselves: within the first year after financing, the company nearly doubled its revenue and gained the freedom to respond flexibly to new business opportunities.
