Credibility & Company Story

A good businessperson knows the value of liquidity and use it judiciously to expand the operations of business. Majority of Kiwi businesses have historically relied on funding from traditional sources like banking for their needs but in the past couple of years (Basel III requirements) banks have shied away from business lending.

Our motivation to enter the non-bank lending space was driven by the above factor. We realised that small businesses need money to unlock their potential. A lot of these businesses were frustrated with red tape from the traditional sources of finance.

Credibility Score:
5/5
