As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) continue to face challenges in the competitive financial landscape, alternative finance companies like eCapital are stepping up to fill the gap left by traditional banking systems. By leveraging technology and innovation, eCapital is providing SMBs with the financial flexibility and support needed to thrive in today’s fast-paced business environment.
A Visionary Leader Transforming SMB Financing
Marius Silvasan, a Miami-based CEO with 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, is leading eCapital to new heights as a fast-growing alternative finance company headquartered in Aventura. With a diverse background in telecommunication, wireless, digital networks, digitization, and financial services, Marius has a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in accessing funding.
In 2009, Marius made a strategic investment in eCapital and took over as CEO in 2019. Since then, he has been instrumental in building eCapital through acquisitions, combining 13 strong, independent companies into a single powerhouse in the alternative finance industry. Drawing on his expertise in structured finance, syndication, and M&A, Marius has emerged as an industry visionary dedicated to empowering SMBs with the financial resources they need to thrive.
Marius’s exceptional leadership, vision, and ability to accelerate company growth have not gone unnoticed. He was recently recognized as a Best in Biz Executive of the Year winner, a testament to his unwavering commitment to revolutionizing the financial landscape for SMBs.
Empowering SMBs with Rapid Access to Capital
“Traditional methods of funding often subject SMBs to typical banking hours and operating times and restrict access to certain opportunities. Our mission is to champion SMBs and empower them by accelerating their access to capital,” says Mr. Silvasan, CEO of eCapital.
Through strategic acquisitions, Mr. Silvasan has built eCapital into a powerhouse in the alternative finance industry, offering SMBs quick access to working capital and addressing the shortcomings and limitations of traditional lenders.
Adapting to the Post-Pandemic Economy
The pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation of the financial industry, diminishing the need for physical interactions and traditional brick-and-mortar locations. eCapital was well-positioned to adapt to these changes by offering eCapital Connect, an intuitive, centralized, and secure online platform that provides fast access to capital, payments, and treasury solutions for SMBs.
Risk Assessment and Underwriting for SMBs
eCapital uses proprietary technology, AI, and machine learning to evaluate and approve applications, providing an efficient process from start to finish. This tech-driven approach allows eCapital to support a growing number of SMBs and differentiate itself from traditional financial institutions.
Continued Growth and Expansion
“We’ve grown by a strategic M&A strategy that has expanded our market coverage and capabilities into new industries, new geographic areas, and new product and service areas. We’ll continue this trajectory via acquisitions, organic growth within our existing portfolios, and the addition of innovative products and services,” Mr. Silvasan explains.
