About PaveNow

Designed for Entrepreneurs. Built by SME Owners.

At PaveNow, we are on a mission to empower SMEs in Poland and across Central Eastern Europe, the true engines of our economy. We recognize that financial management is a critical hurdle for small businesses, so we are changing the narrative.

We are building an innovative solution that combines accessible capital with smart automation tools. By helping growing SMEs secure funding while streamlining their workflows, we enable them to reduce costs and unlock higher profits.

We are not just another startup. PaveNow is part of a private investment group with investors from New York and Singapore—holding diversified businesses with over 30 years of operation and a combined revenue of over US$3.5Bn. This gives us the agility of a fintech with the backing of a group that owns a commercial bank in CEE.
