Uplifting Main Street through Strategic Financing
In the bustling heart of America’s economy, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) stand tall as the pillars of Main Street. The Smarter Merchant (TSM), headquartered in New York, has been a key player in energizing these businesses since 2013. With a focus on data-driven insights and technology, TSM extends its support across varied sectors, such as healthcare and retail, significantly contributing to the sustainability and growth of local enterprises.
TSM & Percent: Fuelling SMB Growth
The 2020 partnership between TSM and Percent has been fruitful, channeling essential funds into the lifeblood of America’s economy – its Main Street businesses. This collaboration highlights the potential of strategic financing in uplifting SMBs.
The Inaugural Note Program
The launch of TSM’s inaugural short-term note program on Percent’s platform was a key step in providing accessible financing to SMBs. This program offers an opportunity for Percent investors to engage in a diversified portfolio of SMB financings originated by TSM. While past performance is not indicative of future results, the initial success of this program has been noteworthy in its contribution to the growth and stability of numerous SMBs.
The Impact: Broadening Horizons
TSM’s presence on Percent has been a story of remarkable growth and impact. Starting with a $1.5M note in November 2020, the program has evolved to issue more than $164 million as of January 2024, with a weighted average rate of 15.23%. This expansion has not only reduced TSM’s capital costs but also broadened their ability to support a diverse array of small businesses.
