How Fintech Is Transforming Small Business Lending

Access to financing can make or break a small business. For years, the process of securing equipment and capital has been slowed down by paperwork, legacy systems, and fragmented workflows that make it harder for businesses to get what they need when they need it.Tomorrow I’m going live with Jake Cutler, MSc, CLFP, founder of Ampli-fi and a longtime leader in equipment finance and small business lending. Jake has spent more than 15 years working inside the industry and saw firsthand how outdated processes were creating poor experiences for sellers, lenders, and business owners alike. Determined to help modernize the space, he later completed a Master’s Degree in Digital Innovation for Fintech at Brandeis University and launched Ampli-fi with the goal of bringing embedded finance and automation into equipment lending.Jake’s work focuses on creating digital workflows that connect equipment sellers, brokers, and lenders in a way that simplifies complex transactions and improves the overall lending experience. By embedding finance directly into the sales process, businesses can move faster while lenders and partners gain clearer visibility into the deal flow.In this episode, we’ll explore three themes shaping the next generation of fintech and small business finance:• Embedded Finance Transforming Equipment Lending• Fintech Automation in SMB Equipment Finance• Digital Workflows Improving Small Business LendingAs fintech continues to reshape how capital moves, the focus is shifting toward faster decisions, better customer experiences, and systems that allow business owners to focus on running their companies instead of navigating lending bureaucracy.Join us live as we explore how technology is changing the way small businesses access the capital and equipment they need to grow.
