NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PIRS Capital, a leading fintech alternative lender, has gained national recognition again this year by being ranked at No.1746 by Inc. magazine on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. While PIRS Capital is celebrating their growth of 245% over the past three years, they are also celebrating how they are helping the small business community today.
The coronavirus pandemic has affected small businesses in a variety of ways. From loss of business to remote work, things are changing fast during the COVID-19 outbreak and businesses are being forced to adapt. According to the Small Business Administration, there are over 30 million small businesses in the U.S, supporting 1.5 million jobs and generating 64% of new jobs. Early on in the pandemic, Goldman Sachs reported more than 50% of owners didn't think they could continue operating for more than three months under the current conditions.
Instead of sitting on the sidelines, PIRS Capital has been at the forefront of extending support to the small business community by ensuring their customers have the financial resources they need to not only survive but thrive in these challenging times. "Small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy and we want to play our part in helping them recover" said Andrew Mallinger, Chief Operating Officer at PIRS Capital. "Over the past few months, we have been proactively engaging with our customers to ensure that we are being as flexible and accommodating as we can to help keep them in business."
Taking a customer-centric mindset in all of its operations is not a new approach for PIRS Capital, it has been their mission since their founding in 2012 and is a direct result of their ongoing success. "The new challenges facing the small business community this year have motivated our team to push even harder to provide our customers with the best customer service possible through this crisis and beyond" added Mallinger.
Compared to last year's Inc. 5000 ranking, PIRS Capital has moved up higher in position and are one of the top five small business lenders to be recognized in the Financial Services industry. "We are thrilled to be on this list again and to make it twice solidifies that we are making the right decisions and are on the right track" said Matthew Washington, Chief Revenue Officer at PIRS Capital. "To rank so highly not only on the overall list, but also in our industry is a testament to our dedicated employees, loyal customers and valued partners who we could not have grown without…today we celebrate them."
PIRS Capital has received several awards since last year, most recently being ranked No. 243 on the 2020 Financial Times list of the top 500 fastest-growing companies in the Americas. "We have been widely triumphant in achieving our strategic growth goals over the past several years and are extremely proud that we've maintained our momentum in 2020" said Faisal Khan, Director of Marketing at PIRS Capital. "PIRS has no plans of slowing down and is more committed than ever to continue to deliver reliable funding to small businesses nationwide."
Small businesses are facing rapidly dwindling resources and mounting uncertainty about their financial path forward and need a lender they can rely on and trust to make the best decisions for their business. PIRS Capital is filling that gap and has proven that maintaining customer loyalty and trust is not just a temporary strategy, but a mindset that is ingrained in their company culture and DNA.
"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism."
