Company bio
FundThrough, headquartered in Toronto, is North America’s leader in online invoicing and online “factoring” – a cutting edge concept that is disrupting the outdated factoring industry. The company offers a modernized form of factoring that helps vendors and contractors maintain their cash flow regardless of slow-paying customers. It’s a service of growing importance to companies of all sizes that cope with delayed customer payments despite the booming economy in the United States and Canada. Steven Uster, along with fellow co-founders Deepak Ramachandran and Graham McBride, came together to start FundThrough in 2014 to help SMBs across various industries answer their biggest dilemma: ensuring sufficient cash flow. FundThrough customers get immediate access to their receivables within a day, giving them control over their cash flow and working capital to keep their companies growing regardless of customer payment practices. Using this business model to appeal to small and midsized companies, FundThrough’s own projections are so strong that, as the Wall Street Journal reported, the company received an additional $34 million in funding from investors in June 2018. FundThrough is applying those proceeds toward its aggressive growth plan and strategy to become North America’s preferred SMB lender and online factoring partner, in a fast growing financing category.
