Fintech pioneer BlueVine secures $200 Million to expand financing to small business startups

Net-30 term is a phrase that a lot of people may not be familiar with. “Net 30” means a customer can purchase products or services up to a maximum dollar amount and have 30 days to pay the bill in full. That may be good for the customer making the purchase but not so good for small business startups that need cash to keep business moving. That’s where a company like BlueVine.com helps. BlueVine allows small businesses to get paid immediately on their outstanding invoices. With BlueVine, companies can free up their cash for paying expenses and growing their business.
