1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
Simon has seen first-hand how small business can be affected, limited, and disadvantaged by the lack of funding when it’s really needed; both in tough times or worse; when the business has a great opportunity for growth that requires a capital injection. Access to business finance will often make or break a small business; business owners with easy access to capital prosper from the unequal ability to invest and inject cash into their business when required.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
…aggregate non-bank small business lenders into a platform that makes the difficult task of searching and finding the right business loan to fit your business requirements, simple, fast, free and unbiased.
It does this by…
…a groundbreaking platform that is transforming the way businesses gain access to alternate business funding by using AI & Algorithm technology to match small business owners with the right non-bank business lender in realtime.
To realize this vision, ebroker had to build the technology and implement ongoing upgrades based on big data.
