Biz2credit is an online credit resource offering finance to small businesses. The company is a direct lender to small businesses that have been in business for at least six months.[2] The company is known for its products BizAnalyser[3] and Small Business Lending Index.

History

The Headquarter of Biz2credit is in New York City , United States . Biz2credit was founded in 2007 by Ramit Arora and Rohit Arora as an online financial solution platform in the alternative lending industry.[4]

The company’s investors include Nexus Venture Partners[5] and Tata Capital.[6] In 2014, the company got a $250 million commitment from Direct Lending Investment to expand its small business financing facility.[7]

According to Biz2credit, it is a financing solution designed specifically to serve small businesses. The company provides products such as merchant cash advances (MCA), and bridge loans. As of 2018, Biz2credit claims to have facilitated over $2 billion in financing to small and medium-sized businesses.[8] The company claims to have 1.1 million users and 1300 lenders using its small business financing system.[9]

The company has been named to Crain’s New York Fast 50 and was ranked among the top 200 fast-growing companies on Deloitte's 2017 Technology Fast 500.[10]

Partnerships

In 2016, Biz2credit announced an agreement with Tata Capital. The partnership made Biz2credit’s lending marketplace available to Tata Capital and provided additional capital to Biz2credit. As part of the agreement, Tata Capital also received access to Biz2credit’s products including the BizAnalyzer tool.[11][12][13]

In June 2018, Biz2credit entered into a partnership with Tally Solutions, an accounting software provider to small businesses.[14] This partnership follows a model where customers of another software service (such as Tally Solutions) get access to Biz2credit’s financing products directly from the third-party software system.[15][16]

In May, 2018 JetPay Corporation (NASDAQ:JTPY), a provider of debit and credit card processing services, payroll, tax, and human capital management services, announced a partnership with Biz2Credit, through which, JetPay customers will gain access to capital through Biz2Credit's small business lending marketplace.[17]
