Scott Stafford, President and CEO, Evolve, added: “We are excited to partner with PayCargo Capital to serve the financial needs of the thousands of businesses that are involved in the movement of cargo. With trillions of dollars spent by American companies on air and ocean freight, port fees, warehouse fees, and a myriad of other transportation-related expenses, Evolve is eager to help fund such a large and dynamic space.”
