NEW YORK, NY – Strategic Funding Source, Inc., today announced that it has entered into an agreement to integrate the United States operations of Capify into its adaptive proprietary operating platform. Both Strategic Funding and Capify have been providing non-bank financing options to small and mid-size businesses for over a decade. This integration enables Strategic Funding to expand its US operations by marketing to and providing capital to existing Capify customers who will, upon renewal of existing merchant cash advances or business loans, become part of the Strategic Funding family of customers.

“We are very pleased to have put together a deal with Strategic Funding that will provide our customers a future source of important capital. As a company that shares our values of providing simple, transparent and responsible access to capital for small and mid-sized businesses, it was a logical transition,” said David Goldin, Founder and CEO of Capify.

As part of the transition, many of Capify’s New York-based employees will become part of the larger and growing family of employees at Strategic Funding. The transition also allows Capify’s existing U.S. clients and partners the opportunity to take advantage of a larger variety of financing options, while still benefitting from the same standards of transparency and integrity that they have come to expect from Capify.

“It is rare that two companies in the same industry can come together and craft a synergistic deal that serves the best interests and strategies of each – but this integration does just that,” stated, Andy Reiser, CEO of Strategic Funding. “We have been friends of David and Capify for many years and have collaborated on and co-invested in the financing of many businesses over the years. We share the same focus on technology and quality underwriting that our customers, partners and the financial industry have come to expect from us. This transaction only strengthens the relationship between the two organizations.”
