Biz2Credit ranked No. 335 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

Biz2Credit CEO Rohit Arora credits rapid advances in technology and a track record of success in the fintech small business lending space with the company’s 242% revenue growth.

“It is an honor to again be recognized among the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 winners in 2018,” said Rohit Arora, who co-founded the company with his brother, Ramit, in 2007. “Being in this list is a testament to the hard work of everyone at Biz2Credit not only during the past year, but also through our entire decade of growth.”

“Congratulations to the Deloitte 2018 Technology Fast 500 winners on this impressive achievement,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte, and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. “These companies are innovators who have converted their disruptive ideas into products, services and experiences that can captivate new customers and drive remarkable growth.”

“Software, which accounts for nearly two of every three companies on the list, continues to produce some of the most exciting technologies of the 21st century, including innovations in artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and robotics,” said Mohana Dissanayake, partner, Deloitte & Touche, and Industry Leader for technology, media and telecommunications, within Deloitte’s audit and assurance practice.

“This year’s ranking demonstrates what is likely a national phenomenon, where many companies from all parts of America are transforming the way we do business by combining breakthrough research and development, entrepreneurship and rapid growth.”

These software innovations have been a main driver of the New York City-based FinTech provider’s growth. Biz2Credit’s small business lending platform uses artificial intelligence and predictive risk analytics to deliver more accurate lending decisions for banks and financial institutions lending to SMBs.

Biz2Credit previously ranked No. 173 as a Technology Fast 500 award winner for 2017.
