Editor’s Note: This article was originally published by our team at SmartLend, our sister platform dedicated to simplifying SME financing through our network of alternative lenders. We’re sharing it here on Smart Towkay as the insights are equally valuable for business owners looking to navigate funding options and improve financial readiness.
SmartLend is proud to feature Bizcap as part of our Lender Spotlight Series — showcasing innovative lending partners changing the way SMEs access funding.
Bizcap, one of Australia’s leading alternative lenders, has officially launched operations in Singapore, bringing with it a bold vision: to provide fast, flexible, and accessible business loans for underserved SMEs.
Why the Singapore Market?
Singapore’s SME landscape is vibrant but often underserved when it comes to timely financing. Traditional loan processes remain lengthy and documentation-heavy — a friction point Bizcap is set to change.
“Singapore is perfectly positioned as our regional hub for Southeast Asia,” shared Zalman Blachman, Global Co-Founder of Bizcap. “The early response from brokers and businesses affirms that SMEs here are actively seeking agile finance partners who understand real-world needs.”
With a strong demand for faster, more adaptable funding, Bizcap’s move into Singapore reflects both strategic opportunity and a clear market fit.
A Strategic Tie-Up with SmartLend
Our collaboration with Bizcap is built on shared values: speed, simplicity, and SME empowerment.
From SmartLend’s perspective, Bizcap’s unique value lies in its responsiveness. Their assessment speed — averaging under three hours during pre-launch testing — is a game-changer. For our customers, that means faster approvals, less paperwork, and access to funds when they need them most.
From Bizcap’s side, SmartLend offers on-ground expertise, a trusted broker network, and a deep understanding of local businesses. Together, we simplify SME lending and unlock opportunities for more businesses to thrive.
What Makes Bizcap Stand Out in Singapore
Here’s what sets Bizcap apart in the local lending ecosystem:
- Lightning-fast loan decisions — with same-day funding available for eligible SMEs
- Loan sizes from $5,000 to $500,000, with plans to increase
- Flexible risk model that looks beyond credit scores, leveraging open banking tools and real-world business data
- Product roadmap for Singapore includes secured lending and revolving credit lines launching soon
SmartLend × Bizcap: Powering SME Growth Together
Our partnership with Bizcap goes beyond a simple lender-platform arrangement — it’s a strategic alliance designed to transform SME financing in Singapore.
At SmartLend, we’re committed to connecting SMEs with alternative lenders who can truly make a difference. Bizcap’s entry into the Singapore market aligns perfectly with this mission. Their fast, flexible lending model complements our platform’s promise of helping businesses secure the right funding, without delays or unnecessary complexity.

A Local Success Story in the Making
