If operating a lucrative business at the impressive age of 23 doesn’t impress you, the fact that Aamar Aslam is currently running his third successful company – and has fitted in term to achieve an economics degree – should. Moreover, it was Aslam’s second venture, a chauffeur company which he headed up during his first two years at the University of Warwick, which inspired his latest venture Funding Invoice.
Funding Invoice is a rapidly-growing FinTech Company based in Woking, Surrey. It’s a peer-to-peer marketplace for invoice finance. Having accomplished a period of incubation at the University of Warwick, Funding Invoice launched as a spinout company of the university in October 2015 and has ever since provided over 3 million euros worth of finance to some of the UK’s most ambitious and innovative companies. Historically, the corporate world has been very reliant on banks for funding which can be hard when banks are unwilling to lend. Funding Invoice offers a new take on an old method of funding your business. They’ve taken factoring and invoice discounting, removed some of the inefficiencies, and built an online platform where businesses can raise fast and flexible finance.
Given the fact that the financial world is booming and presenting many opportunities to take advantage, the future for this company surely seems bright!
Its amazing that Aamar started this successful company during the rigorous course-load he had at college. His story will help to inspire college students.
