In San Francisco, Parafin, a top provider of embedded financing, has revealed a significant collaboration with Gusto, a prominent platform for small businesses overseeing payroll, HR, and benefits, catering to over 400,000 businesses. This partnership has led to the introduction of Payroll Bridge, operated by Parafin, providing a line of credit specifically for covering payroll expenses. Given that payroll stands as a critical and time-sensitive financial obligation for numerous small businesses, experiencing a transient shortfall in cash flow can have substantial repercussions.
