# Parafin

> Parafin is an embedded finance infrastructure company (founded 2020) that lets software platforms, marketplaces, and payment service providers offer capital, spend, and pay-over-time products to the small businesses on their platform. Parafin abstracts capital sourcing, compliance, underwriting/risk, servicing, and collections behind white-labeled REST APIs and embeddable Parafin Elements widgets (React, Vue, Angular). Notable customers include DoorDash and Mindbody.
