For our founder, Ben Kofi, access to capital was the biggest challenge. His experience inspired Get Funding Direct. Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs and to empower business growth.
Every great business begins with a problem that hits close to home. For our founder, Ben Kofi, that problem was capital — or more precisely, the lack of it.
Born and raised in London, Ben spent 15 years building a successful e-commerce business that gave him the freedom to travel and live abroad. From Colombia to the Dominican Republic, Ghana, and the United States, he gained a global perspective on what makes businesses succeed — and what causes them to fail.
After his company collapsed due to limited access to funding, Ben made it his mission to master business credit and capital strategies. That journey led him to partner with two other entrepreneurs — David Vasilev (left) and Dimitri Vasilev (right) — to create Get Funding Direct, a company built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
Our mission is simple: to empower small business owners with the funding and financial insight they need to grow without limits.
We’re here to bridge the gap between ambition and execution. We believe access to capital shouldn’t be reserved for the few, it should be a tool available to every hardworking business owner who dares to dream bigger.
Our vision is to become America’s most trusted funding partner for small businesses — known not just for securing great rates, but for educating, guiding, and supporting entrepreneurs every step of the way.
Like every successful business, our story is one of growth, lessons, and relentless improvement.
In the early days, we focused purely on education, helping small business owners understand credit and funding options. But as demand grew, we evolved into a full-service funding company, giving entrepreneurs nationwide direct access to working capital, business lines of credit, and equipment financing.
Each obstacle refined our process. Each client’s success sharpened our mission. Today, Get Funding Direct stands as a trusted partner to entrepreneurs ready to scale with confidence, backed by capital, clarity, and a team that truly cares.
