SAN FRANCISCO, March 7, 2023 /CNW/ -- Today Brightflow AI, a fintech platform that empowers small businesses to take control of their cash flow and make data-backed decisions, and CircleUp, a data company offering Universal Data for the emerging consumer goods space, announced their new strategic partnership that will make it easier for brands to monitor their credit profile and apply for new business loans.

Under the new partnership, CircleUp has transitioned the servicing of its loan portfolio to Brightflow AI, which provides brands with software, insights, and recommendations to manage their cash flow and position their business to access capital. In the last year, Brightflow AI has unlocked more than $100 million in growth capital for its customers.

"We are confident that Brightflow AI is the right fit for our brands. Its monitoring tools will provide them the best long-term financing options and help them continue to grow," said Danny Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of CircleUp.

Brightflow AI technology and data also enhance the underwriting and financing processes, which can be arduous, time consuming, and hampered by limited visibility. Real-time monitoring from Brightflow AI enables brands and lenders to know their data sources are accurate; their business credit scores are up to date; and that their forecasts are validated by a team of data scientists, financial analysts, and engineers.
