Small businesses dominate the global economy, and yet few banks focus on lending credit to this underserved demographic.
According to the World Bank, small and medium-sized businesses make up 90% of global companies but only get 10.5% of total bank credit available.
Even those that do get bank credit often don't have the kind of robust business management platform that large enterprises have.
It gives businesses access to capital through revolving credit lines and business credit cards, while its business management platform provides real-time visibility into operations, cash flows, management of loans, payroll, benefits and invoicing.
"That's what we're fixing — we give them visibility of their finances," Rene Saul, who co-founded Kapital with Fernando Sandoval in 2020, told TechCrunch.
