I’m so excited the Summer Olympics are on. The combination of unique sporting events, exciting competitions, patriotism (go Team USA!), inspiring stories, and sportsmanship brings a tear to my eye.  

The International Olympic Committee recently updated the Olympic motto from “Faster, Higher, Stronger” to “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together.” I like the recognition that we go further when we’re working together. It encapsulates Liberis’s belief that when we work together with our partners, we can go further when it comes to making it easy for small businesses around the world to get the financing they need to thrive.  

It’s been an action-packed first half of the year at Liberis – in honor of the Summer Olympics and the amazing work that our teams have done, here is how we’re embodying the spirit of “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together.”
