The landscape of small business financing is evolving with the integration of advanced artificial intelligence. In a significant move for the global fintech sector, Bizcap, together with its US affiliate NewCo Capital Group, has announced the acquisition of 8fig. This strategic acquisition marks a major step in Bizcap's global expansion and solidifies its leadership in technology-led business funding by integrating 8fig's pioneering "AI CFO" tool, which has delivered over $500 million in funding to online sellers since its founding in 2020.
Bizcap acquires e-commerce funding platform 8fig to enhance its global fintech offerings.
8fig brings its pioneering "AI CFO" tool for business planning and forecasting to the Bizcap Group.
The acquisition will combine 8fig's AI-driven technology with Bizcap's capital strength and global reach.
8fig will operate independently under its existing brand and leadership.
Bizcap and its affiliates have delivered over $3 billion in funding to SMEs worldwide.
The move aims to provide SMEs with faster, more tailored access to capital and intelligent business tools.
The acquisition is framed as a partnership that aligns the two companies' core missions. 8fig will retain its independence, operating under its existing brand and leadership, while gaining access to Bizcap's extensive capital resources, operational expertise, and global footprint. For Bizcap, the integration of 8fig's technology highlights its strategy of incorporating high-growth fintechs to reinforce its position as a global leader in non-bank lending.
"We're impressed not just by 8fig's technology, but by how it's built — with a strong focus on customer needs, adaptability, and long-term success," said Albert Gahfi, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Bizcap Global. "8fig has the right platform, the right people, and the right mindset to make a global impact."
The combination of Bizcap and 8fig is designed to create a more intelligent and comprehensive funding ecosystem for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Bizcap brings its experience of delivering over $3 billion in funding across Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Europe. 8fig contributes its advanced automated underwriting and AI-driven innovation. Together, they will offer SMEs smarter solutions for cash flow, inventory management, and growth planning, providing brokers and partners with a broader range of financial products.
"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," said Zalman Blachman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Bizcap Global.
The partnership is expected to accelerate growth for both entities. Bizcap will integrate 8fig's AI-driven systems to rapidly develop more cost-effective, longer-term funding products and expand its global market share. Conversely, 8fig will leverage Bizcap's scale and capital to fuel its next phase of growth, entering new markets and forming strategic alliances.
"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," said Yaron Shapira, CEO of 8fig.
