Zetl provides services that cover working capital, payroll management, and growth financing for its recruitment and consultancy industry clients. The HR tech startup claims to have grown 300% after launching in Hong Kong and Singapore last year.
The company is eyeing a 500% growth in its customer base in 2021 after financing the wages of over 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) employees.
