Nav Technologies, Inc. | January 27, 2023
On January 26, 2023, Nav, the best financial solution for small businesses, announced its integration with Nuula's assets for building momentum, which will assist the economic platforms of small businesses.
This integration will add new mobile-friendly app features to the existing Nav platform, providing many financial options based on real-time data.
Due to economic fluctuations in the country, banks and financial partners have stopped sponsoring small businesses. However, this platform would assist them to survive and grow their financial needs at a lower price and with easy processes. With the help of Nuula's assets, Nav will provide applications with a credit report, cash flow, and financial updates to enable the business owner to evaluate its growth.
Greg Ott, CEO of Nav, says, "This acquisition means we will continue to deliver a financial health experience that eliminates subjective and irrelevant information small business owners are bombarded with every day." He adds, "I've been impressed by the caliber of Nuula's talent and excited to integrate our team. Together, we will continue to bring simplified financial insights and streamlined access to the best financing and credit options to small business owners."
