Ned makes it easy to deploy capital with cash flow underwriting and revenue-based products

Ned provides lending infrastructure that makes it easy to deploy capital.

Our end-to-end rails and cash flow underwriting engine enables small business lenders to build capacity and qualify borrowers who might otherwise have poor credit or no collateral.

So, we built the platform they needed. We’re on a mission to make sure lenders have affordable infrastructure to innovate and grow.
