Credibly is an American financial services company based in Michigan. It provides financing to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).[1][2][3][4]

History[edit]

Credibly, formerly known as RetailCapital LLC was founded in 2010 in Michigan by Ryan Rosett and Edan King. It has offices in Southfield, MI, New York, NY and Tempe, AZ. Credibly was founded after the 2008 financial crisis, a period after which small business owners had difficulties securing financing from traditional banks. RetailCapital LLC had a joint venture with Crestmark Bank, member FDIC, until 2014 when they received an investment from Flexpoint Ford, a private equity firm. The company's first financial offering was focused on Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs) and soon expanded to offer Working Capital Loans (WCLs).[8]

In 2015, Retail Capital LLC rebranded as Credibly, expanding its product offerings to Business Expansion Loans (BXLs). The company also started offering merchants $100 million in funding year over year.[9]

The company partnered with the Small Business Association of Michigan to support small businesses.[10]

In 2017, Credibly repositioned its WebBank, (a Utah chartered industrial bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, member FDIC) loan origination program to offer loans directly through Credibly.[11]

In 2023, Credibly announced a management-led buyback of all outstanding equity investment.[12][13] In September 2023, Green Dot Corporation partnered with Credibly to provide applicable small business owners a business banking account service called Credibly Business Checking.[14]
