The capital injection will also will fuel an exhaustive period of research and development with the company hoping to release a range of new products and enhanced solutions over the coming two years.
Ben Parker, CEO and Founder of eflow Global, commented: “Increasing scrutiny from global regulators has made it imperative for investment firms to automate costly and time-consuming regulatory obligations. With a recent move to a 100% cloud model, we felt the time was right for us to take additional investment to accelerate growth and product development plans.”
Aman Ghei, Partner at Finch Capital added: “We are very excited to be partnering with Ben and the team at eflow. There aren’t many profitable and high-growth businesses in regulation technology and that is a testament to how well the team has done to deliver best-in-class SaaS solutions to marquee customers. With our investment, the team will further be able to invest in technology and product development to enable their customers to stay on top of the ever-changing regulatory environment.”
