Growth-ready SMEs are demanding more than just fast funding. They want insight, flexibility, and control.
That’s why Bizcap, one of the world’s fastest-growing non-bank lenders, has joined forces with AI-driven funding platform 8fig to revolutionise how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access and manage growth capital.
Together, they’re building a future where funding isn’t just fast, but smart.
A partnership powering global ambition
Bizcap, alongside its US affiliate NewCo Capital Group, has announced the acquisition of 8fig, a move that strengthens its leadership in technology-led business finance and accelerates its global expansion.
Founded in 2020, 8fig has already provided more than $500 million in funding to online sellers and developed its pioneering ‘AI CFO’ tool, a digital financial partner that helps business owners forecast, plan and scale with confidence.
Now, as part of the Bizcap Group, 8fig will continue operating under its existing brand and leadership while benefiting from Bizcap’s capital strength, international reach and operational expertise.
Albert Gahfi, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Bizcap Global, said the partnership combines innovation and scale to empower more entrepreneurs around the world.
‘8fig has the right platform, the right people and the right mindset to make a global impact. We’re excited to combine that strength with Bizcap’s reach and expertise to broaden our product offering and accelerate market penetration,’ he said.
Where funding meets intelligence
Bizcap and its affiliates have delivered more than $3 billion in funding to over 66,000 SMEs worldwide. With operations in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the US, Canada, the UK and Europe, and expansion into Latin America on the horizon, the company is redefining what flexible, non-bank lending can achieve.
Integrating 8fig’s AI technology takes that mission to the next level. By combining automated underwriting, intelligent forecasting and personalised funding solutions, SMEs can now manage cash flow, inventory and growth more effectively.
Zalman Blachman, Bizcap Global’s Co-Founder and Co-CEO, said 8fig’s technology represents a leap forward in SME lending.
‘8fig turns complexity into speed, accuracy, and intelligence. Their innovation amplifies our mission to deliver fast, flexible capital and positions Bizcap at the forefront of the future of small business lending,’ he said.
Empowering SMEs to scale globally
For small business owners, the benefits are tangible. With Bizcap and 8fig working together, they can now access:
- Faster funding decisions, with approvals in as little as three hours and same-day funding available
- Smarter tools that use AI-driven insights to predict cash flow and identify growth opportunities
- A broader global reach, giving access to new markets, capital and partnerships
- Flexible finance options, from working capital and credit lines to structured growth funding.
For 8fig’s CEO, Yaron Shapira, the partnership represents a major step in helping entrepreneurs reach their next stage of growth.
‘Our mission remains the same: empowering SMEs and e-commerce businesses to scale globally. With Bizcap’s talented team beside us, we’re ready to take that mission to new heights,’ he said.
In an environment where speed, data and adaptability are the new competitive edge, Bizcap’s partnership with 8fig marks an important turning point. It’s not just about providing funding; it’s about giving businesses the intelligence to grow confidently.
Whether it’s an online seller expanding internationally or a local enterprise managing seasonal cash flow, Bizcap and 8fig are proving that when capital meets AI, the result is a smarter, stronger business ecosystem.
