"Given their success, the team at Cova has selected TIMIA's innovative non-dilutive financing to support their continued growth,” Foxall said. “Our financial solution is a great alternative for organizations like Cova that require funding to increase their customer base and drive sales, while maintaining equity ownership and control over their company."
Cova’s software allows retailers to successfully navigate and expand in the highly regulated cannabis industry, a solution that is seeing “tremendous growth” in the sector, according to its CEO Gary Cohen.
"Recognizing the need for expansion capital, we explored several alternatives and found that TIMIA had the best solution for our needs. We look forward to working with the team at TIMIA as we continue to strengthen our competitive position in the growing cannabis industry,” Cohen said in a statement.
TIMIA provides growth capital to technology companies in exchange for payments based on monthly revenue. Its technology-driven fintech platform targets higher risk-adjusted returns on its finance solutions, creating value for shareholders, and leveraging its non-dilutive capital structure.
