Bizfi Debuts Aggregation Silo for Business Financing

Bizfi Debuts Aggregation Silo for Business Financing

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateFall 2015.

BizfiLogoOur first presenter of day two at Finovate is Bizfi, demonstrating how it helps with lead monetization in business financing:

At FinovateFall, Bizfi will be highlighting its aggregation silo, which the company is now making available to partners as a white-label or co-branded solution. Bizfi’s aggregation platform enables sales offices and/or partners to maximize lead monetization, while taking advantage of economies of scale and scope, powered by data science and technology. The proprietary technology behind the aggregation silo is further supported by strategic relationships with more than 35 funding partners. For potential customers, the presence of the aggregation silo translates into greater choice, efficiency, and convenience.
