use cases

Lend to thin-file small business owners

Evaluate business cash flow and behavior—even when a traditional credit file doesn’t exist.

The Problem

Many microbusinesses, freelancers, and sole traders lack formal business credit profiles.

Their income is often mixed with personal finances, making traditional underwriting slow or impossible.
