The story

Biva operates as a peer-to-peer lending marketplace focused on the Brazilian SMB market, positioning itself as a low-cost alternative to traditional bank credit. The platform allows collective lending ('Empréstimo Coletivo') where multiple investors fund individual SMB loans, promoting shared-economy finance. The company has built a partners portal to expand reach through referral networks, incentivizing introducers with commissions of up to R$2,500 per funded loan.
