FinLab : enters into million euro investment in Fintech-SaaS pionier FastBill

Offenbach/Frankfurt/Cologne, May 2, 2017. FinLab AG (ISIN: DE0001218063; Ticker: A7A.GR) is set to make a seven-figure investment in FastBill, the leading German SaaS tool for small business financial management. Along with FinLab, coparion will also be participating in this investment. FastBill will invest these new financial resources in continued strong growth and in further expanding its financial platform.

FastBill is the end-to-end online financial management tool for small businesses and the self- employed. By integrating accounting, banking and assistance systems into a simple user interface, it makes it possible to dramatically accelerate recurring tasks while fully mapping accounting processes in the background.

Over 40,000 small businesses and freelancers have come to rely on FastBill for the easy processing of their financial transactions. Today, the company ranks as one of the most innovative providers in the industry. The combination of a simple, self-explanatory user interface with a high degree of automation as well as machine learning algorithms makes it possible for FastBill to serve as an assistance system and relieve the user of onerous office tasks. Along with automated processing, the machine learning algorithms working in the background also provide for a significant reduction in potential accounting errors. FastBill users are able to keep close track of invoices, receipts, bank accounts and liquidity, so they can get their money faster than ever before while all the accounting processes run in the background. Tax consultants also benefit by having all required data transmitted to them automatically.

"We are proud that we've been able to get FastBill to this point using a bootstrapping approach", says FastBill co-founder René Maudrich. "Now is the right time for us to take the next step by taking even greater advantage of the opportunities for our product and its prospects on the market. On the basis of our experience so far and the ongoing exchange with our users we know exactly what we need to do to further refine FastBill. With FinLab and coparion on board we are confident that we have found the perfect partners - we appreciate not only their expertise and strong network in the field of Fintech, but also the fact that we share the same values and have the same long-term goals for FastBill."

"FastBill's innovative SaaS solution makes it possible for small businesses and the self-employed to have access to professional business software that can relieve the owner/operator of time-consuming clerical work", says Theo Woik of FinLab. "The team as well as FastBill's market position and future potential are what won us over. We look forward to make FastBill Europe's leading business SaaS software for small businesses and the self-employed."
