From $500M to Global Scale: 8fig’s Next Chapter with Bizcap

Explore the merger that brings AI forecasting and global capital together for small-business growth.

October 23, 2025

Hello and welcome to this edition of Fintech Forward, where we bring you the latest in fintech innovation and business funding. Today we’re spotlighting a significant move in the non-bank lending landscape: Bizcap’s acquisition of 8fig, and what it means for small and mid-sized businesses (SMEs) worldwide.

A strategic acquisition at a glance
Bizcap, together with its U.S. affiliate NewCo Capital Group, has acquired 8fig and welcomed it into the Bizcap Group. This marks a major milestone in Bizcap’s global expansion and underscores its leadership in technology-led business funding.
Founded in 2020, 8fig has already delivered more than $500 million in funding to online sellers and developed its signature “AI CFO” tool—helping small businesses plan, forecast and scale with confidence.

Under the new arrangement, 8fig will retain its brand and leadership team, operating independently while benefiting from Bizcap’s capital strength, global footprint and operational expertise.

Why this matters for Bizcap and the SME ecosystem
For Bizcap, this acquisition reinforces its strength at integrating high-growth fintechs and builds on its global leadership in non-bank lending. As co-founder and co-CEO Albert Gahfi put it:

“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.”
He added,
“8fig has the right platform, the right people, and the right mindset to make a global impact, and we’re excited to combine that strength with Bizcap’s reach and expertise to broaden our product offering and accelerate market penetration.”

The payoff? The combined entity will be even better positioned to serve SMEs with smarter, faster, more tailored funding and business-planning tools.

A global ecosystem for growth
Bizcap and its affiliates have already supplied over $3 billion in funding to SMEs in markets including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the US, Canada, the UK and Europe—with plans to expand into Mexico.
By absorbing 8fig, Bizcap gains enhanced capabilities in automated underwriting, AI-driven funding and sophisticated business tools. SMEs will now have access to solutions that do more than simply provide capital: they’ll enable better cash-flow management, inventory planning and strategic growth. Brokers and partners, in turn, will gain access to a broader portfolio—from working capital and credit lines to structured growth financing.

Together, these advancements will enable faster, more personalised access to funding across geographies and solidify Bizcap’s status as a partner of choice for business finance.

8fig’s advanced technology and AI-driven innovation place Bizcap at the intersection of commercial funding and financial intelligence. As Bizcap co-CEO Zalman Blachman explains:

“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.”

With 8fig’s automated underwriting and servicing platform now in the mix, Bizcap is poised to roll out cheaper, longer-term funding products and accelerate its global market share.

For 8fig, the partnership opens the door for technology expansion, market entry and strategic alliances—with virtually no budget constraints, says CEO Yaron Shapira:

“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.”

What this means for SMEs and fintech watchers

  • For SMEs: More options. Thanks to the merger, small businesses and e-commerce sellers can expect smarter tools and more flexible capital—with global reach and support.

  • For fintech partners & brokers: An enriched product set and broader international network—offering everything from working capital to structured growth finance.

  • For the fintech ecosystem: A clear signal that non-bank lenders are doubling-down on tech and scale. Deals like these underscore how key AI and automation will be in the next generation of business finance.

The takeaway
This deal is more than just an acquisition—it’s a strategic alignment of tech, capital and global market scale. By bringing together 8fig’s AI-first platform and Bizcap’s global infrastructure, the combined entity is betting on one thing: that the future of SME funding will be smarter, faster and more growth-oriented.

Keep an eye on this pairing—they’re shaping up to be a powerhouse in the world of business finance.
