About Flowt
Flowt is building a modern debt readiness and financing platform for businesses in emerging markets. We help SMEs become credit-ready by converting real-world operational and financial inputs into lender-grade applications and risk signals. Our platform brings together: (1) fast onboarding and structured data capture, (2) integrations into bookkeeping and banking sources, (3) workflow automation for financing products such as invoice financing, purchase order financing, inventory financing, and asset financing, and (4) AI-enabled validation and scoring to improve speed, accuracy, and fairness.
Our product captures company, founder, and financing details (including required documents like audited accounts, bank statements, tax compliance certificates, and product-specific invoices/POs), and supports risk and impact assessment requirements (e.g., legal disputes, statutory liabilities, and restricted-use screening).
