In addition, the shareholders also have the right to ask some questions during the AGM. The following questions are asked:

  • Question 1. Could someone during the meeting provide more details on the factoring services offered by UPG? How significant will this be for the company in 2025?
  • Answer CEO: The impact this year will be minimal, as these services are only in the initial stages of launch.
  • Question 2. When searching for 'e-invoicing software' on Google, companies such as Billit, Exact, Teamleader, Odoo, EasyPost, Accountable, and others appear prominently. Is Unifiedpost sufficiently focused on SEO strategies? Additionally, I have noticed radio advertisements for Billit and billboards for Odoo, but Banqup does not seem to have a similar level of visibility. Could you please address this?
  • Answer CEO: We will not engage in this type of advertising, as our target audience consists of accountants and partnerships.
  • Question 3. In a press release in De Tijd on March 19, 2025, CEO Nicolas De Beco said, 'Our sales activity this year is ten times higher than last year. Ten times! This will translate into contracts in the last quarter, leading to at least 25% growth in subscriptions, the most important metric for a software company. And from 2026 onwards, the real acceleration will begin.' Are you still confident in this projection? Is everything progressing as planned? Could you also clarify what is specifically meant by 'sales activity' in this context, is that 10 times more leads created in the sales funnel compared to last year, or 10 times more potential sales revenue, or 10 times more questions for demos,...?"
  • Answer CEO: We are unable to comment on this until tomorrow evening. However, we are seeing positive traction. For example, the market in Germany is growing, which is a strong indicator for future potential. By sales activity, we mean a tenfold increase in engagement for the sales team.
