When Justin Levy founded Knight Capital Funding in 2013, he wasn't just starting a company—he was setting a new standard for how small businesses secure financing. Frustrated by the industry’s predatory practices and inefficiencies, Levy raised $10 million to create a company with a simple but powerful promise: get businesses the capital they need, without the usual hassle and hidden agendas.
In 2015, he expanded on his vision with the launch of iBusiness Funding, developing cutting-edge tools like LenderAI and Lending as a Service (LaaS) to help banks and lenders work more efficiently. Ready Capital Corporation recognized the game-changing potential of Levy's approach and acquired both companies in 2019. The result? Over $7 billion in SBA loans processed, providing crucial support to underserved businesses nationwide.
Fast forward to 2024, and iBusiness Funding's growth shows no signs of slowing. With the acquisition of Funding Circle US, the company has further cemented its position as the go-to resource for B2B and B2C lending solutions. It's a testament to Levy's original vision: with the right tools and the right intentions, the lending industry can be a true ally for small business success.
We create world-class technology, services, and products that enable lenders of all sizes to help more customers with SBA and other commercial funding solutions.
Our vision is to provide affordable, reliable capital in an efficient and transparent manner to every small and medium-sized business in America.
