A Personal Message From Eddie

Greetings! My name is Ed DeAngelis, Founder & CEO of QualiFi, LLC.

As a fellow business owner, I know how valuable your time is. I appreciate you taking the time to get to know us better.

My 30-year run as an entrepreneur has come from a stand on a street corner in Philly selling perfume and cologne to meeting you in my very own funding company today.

I wanted to illustrate my background to let you know that I know from personal experience what you’re going through. I know the frustrations of wanting to grow and pursue your dreams without having the resources to do so.

In our journey together, you’ll see that we want to help our clients have the best experience possible. One with options you may not know you had.

You will have a personalized journey with your funding manager, who will assess your needs and customize your experience to ensure we find the right loan products for you. From term loans and purchase order financing to equipment loans and lines of credit, we’re here to get you the money you need to succeed in your industry.

My Journey From Perfume To Finance
1
Eventually, my street corner perfume sales led me to bigger and better things. I spent nearly 17 years in the screen printing and embroidery industry. I founded and launched Olympic Embroidery & Wholesale Co. in early 1999, which was later acquired in 2015 by Ampro Sports, a much larger competitor in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Ampro was one of the leading screen printing and team sportswear companies in the United States.
The Second Acquisition

My finance journey started in 2013 with my role as president and partner to Bizlender, LLC. I built the Bizlender sales team from scratch in just two-and-a-half short years. Together, we went from startup to securing just shy of $5 million a month in funding.

I departed Bizlender, LLC in 2016. My next company, Amerifi, LLC, launched in March of 2017.

I carried Amerifi, LLC, from startup to profitability in just seven short months. I took the sales team from startup to securing and funding $3 to 4 million a month and $8.5 million in December 2018 alone.
The Third Mission

In late 2019, Amerifi, LLC was acquired by a fintech giant called Nav Technologies Inc. Nav’s leading investors include Goldman Sachs and Experian. Nav had built an incredible online marketplace for lending and was in search of acquiring a direct sales team and brokerage firm that could maintain, expand, scale, and facilitate all of their complex white-glove loan products.

And so, I took the reins for the third time and built the NavEast high-touch team from zero to a run rate of more than $60 million in high-touch funding. We accomplished exceptional growth despite going through an entire year-and-a-half of the COVID-19 pandemic, an event that slowed our growth significantly.

After amicably leaving Nav, I embarked on my most recent journey—QualiFi, LLC.

QualiFi’s journey is just getting underway and will be extraordinary. We get to push the reset button one more time and apply what we’ve learned from our many successes and failures.

Our current mission with QualiFi is two-fold, and we’re inspired to make it happen. We’re determined to take the hassle out of small business financing and build an accessible, affordable experience for business financing, one client at a time.

I look forward to our journey with you.
