After years of a tumultuous journey, Capital Float is testing the winds again with a trending consumer lending model—buy now, pay later—that it hopes will bring it some stability.

Capital Float started operations in 2013 with a focus on lending to small and medium enterprises untouched by traditional financial players. It quickly expanded, but sometimes too fast for sustainable growth.
