About Licaifan
Licaifan is a Chinese online finance platform that facilitates peer-to-business (P2B) lending. The company primarily connects individual investors with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in need of financing. The business model is centered around acting as an intermediary, creating a marketplace where individuals can lend money to businesses, thereby earning interest, while businesses gain access to capital that they might not be able to secure from traditional banking institutions.
Founded in 2014, the company operates in the competitive Chinese fintech market. It generates revenue by charging service fees for the transactions it facilitates on its platform. Licaifan has demonstrated significant growth, having raised a total of $86.8 million over four funding rounds, including a notable $51 million Series C round in 2016. This indicates strong investor confidence in its business model and market position.
