Pieter Schoen, famous for the TV show Dragons' Den, saw a big opportunity in the world of corporate finance in 2016. He noticed that SMEs were increasingly in need of fast and flexible loans, while traditional banks were increasingly giving zero response, were too slow in their decision-making or required an abundance of documentation. As a true entrepreneur, Pieter knew how important it is to be able to react quickly when financial opportunities come up.
With that vision, he and two partners founded Swishfund in 2016 to move the financial market. Swishfund is an innovative fintech that offers business loans easily and quickly. The goal? Give entrepreneurs the flexibility to make financial decisions quickly so they can capitalize on opportunities and grow their business.
