Revolutionizing Industry Financing with Tailored Solutions for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Raleigh, NC, 19th August 2025, ZEX PR WIREVIP Capital Funding, a pioneer in alternative business financing, today announced the launch of its innovative Vertical-Specific Lending Suite, a comprehensive set of industry-tailored financing solutions designed to accelerate growth and resilience for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across diverse sectors in 2025.

As the landscape of SMB finance continues to evolve, traditional lenders often fall short by offering generic products that do not sufficiently address the unique needs of different industries. Recognizing this gap, VIP Capital Funding is spearheading a new era of industry-specific financing that combines deep sector expertise with flexible, fast, and transparent funding options. This strategic move aims to empower SMBs to harness their sector strengths, optimize operations, and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

The launch of VIP Capital Funding’s Vertical-Specific Lending Suite marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to democratize access to capital by aligning financial solutions with industry-specific realities. This suite includes tailored loan products for key sectors such as healthcare, retail, manufacturing, technology, construction, and hospitality, among others.

“The needs of a healthcare provider differ vastly from those of a retail storefront or a construction firm,” said a VIP Capital Funding spokesperson. “Our new suite recognizes these distinctions, offering customized terms, industry-specific risk assessments, and flexible repayment options that reflect each sector’s cash flow patterns and growth cycles.”

The new platform leverages advanced data analytics, sector-specific underwriting criteria, and real-time market insights to craft financing options that are both relevant and accessible. Whether a healthcare clinic needs equipment financing, a retail chain seeks inventory funding, or a construction company requires project-based capital, VIP Capital Funding now provides solutions designed with industry nuances in mind.

The company has invested heavily in developing a comprehensive understanding of each targeted sector’s operational challenges and financial rhythms. This knowledge allows VIP Capital Funding to offer more accurate and fair assessments of risk, thereby opening the door for businesses that might have been overlooked by traditional lenders. Small businesses, especially those in non-traditional industries or with less-than-perfect credit profiles, now have a better chance to secure the funding they need to expand, innovate, and strengthen their market positions.

The industry-specific approach also means that businesses can access funding that aligns with their cash flow cycles, seasonal peaks, and operational deadlines. For example, a manufacturing firm might receive a loan with repayment schedules synchronized with order fulfillment cycles, while a hospitality business could leverage financing to upgrade facilities ahead of peak seasons. This level of customization ensures that SMBs are not burdened by rigid repayment terms that may hinder their growth or cash flow management.

“Our team is dedicated to understanding each client’s unique needs and providing personalized funding solutions,” added the spokesperson, “we believe every business deserves tailored support to reach its full potential. Building long-term relationships is central to our mission. We are committed to supporting your success every step of the way.”

VIP Capital Funding’s commitment to speed and simplicity remains central to its offering. The new suite emphasizes rapid approval and disbursement processes, with approvals often completed within 24 to 72 hours and funds available in as little as one business day. This immediacy is critical in sectors where timing can be the difference between winning or losing a contract, launching a new product, or responding to unexpected operational needs.

Furthermore, the company’s flexible repayment terms are designed to reduce financial strain on SMBs. Unlike traditional bank loans that often come with fixed, inflexible schedules, VIP Capital Funding offers adaptive repayment options that can be tailored to sector-specific cash flow patterns. This approach helps businesses manage their debts more effectively, avoid cash shortages, and reinvest in their growth initiatives.

The tailored risk assessment process incorporates industry data and market trends, allowing VIP Capital Funding to evaluate applications more holistically. This means that businesses with strong revenue streams but less-than-perfect credit scores still have access to capital, provided their sector’s outlook is positive and their cash flow demonstrates stability. This broader eligibility criterion is especially beneficial for startups, family-owned businesses, and companies operating in niche markets that may not meet conventional lending standards.

Pricing transparency remains a core value for VIP Capital Funding. The company provides clear, upfront interest rates and fee structures, eliminating hidden costs and surprises. This transparency fosters trust and helps SMBs plan their finances with confidence, knowing exactly what they will owe and when. Additionally, the company offers options for incremental funding, allowing businesses to access additional capital as their needs evolve, without having to reapply or undergo a new approval process.

Beyond the financial products, VIP Capital Funding is committed to supporting industry growth through education and partnership. The company actively collaborates with industry associations, local chambers of commerce, and sector-specific events to stay informed about emerging trends and challenges. This engagement ensures that the financing solutions remain relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of SMBs across sectors.

Moreover, VIP Capital Funding recognizes that responsible lending is vital to long-term success. As part of its service ethos, the company emphasizes financial literacy and provides clients with tools and resources to better understand credit management, cash flow optimization, and strategic planning. This holistic approach not only helps businesses succeed in obtaining capital but also enables them to sustain and grow their operations over time.

Addressing the broader challenges faced by SMBs, especially in sectors heavily impacted by economic fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and technological change, VIP Capital Funding’s specialized financing offerings provide a stabilizing force. For instance, small manufacturers often grapple with large upfront costs and fluctuating demand, making flexible equipment or working capital loans essential. VIP’s sector-specific products are designed to mitigate these pressures by offering adaptable repayment schedules aligned with production cycles and sales forecasts, ensuring that businesses can weather uncertain times more effectively.

The spokesperson further added, “We offer reliable and flexible financial options designed to meet industry-specific challenges. Empowering businesses to overcome financial barriers is our priority. Trust and exceptional service form the foundation of our approach. Together, we can help you achieve your growth goals.”

Similarly, in the healthcare sector, providers often face significant capital needs for equipment upgrades, facility expansion, or compliance-related investments. VIP Capital Funding’s customized solutions enable healthcare providers to access necessary funding without compromising their operational stability. The ability to secure financing tailored to their cash flow patterns means that providers can enhance patient care and expand services while maintaining financial health.

The company’s strategic focus on sectors like retail and hospitality also reflects an understanding of their unique seasonal variations and revenue fluctuations. Retail businesses, especially those preparing for holiday seasons or promotional events, can benefit from inventory financing that supports stock expansion just ahead of peak demand, then repays during high-revenue periods. Hospitality businesses, on the other hand, can leverage financing to renovate or expand during off-peak seasons, ensuring they are ready to attract customers when demand surges.

Many small and medium-sized businesses face the challenge of balancing immediate operational needs with long-term strategic growth. Traditional financing options often fail to accommodate the fluctuating nature of industry demands, leaving businesses vulnerable during critical periods. VIP Capital Funding’s industry-specific approach directly addresses this issue by offering flexible, tailored solutions that align with each sector’s unique cash flow patterns and seasonal cycles. For example, retail businesses can access inventory financing before major sales events, with repayment structures that coincide with revenue peaks. Similarly, manufacturing firms can secure working capital to meet increased demand during peak production periods. This strategic alignment not only eases financial stress but also ensures that businesses are better prepared to capitalize on market opportunities without risking cash flow shortages. By understanding sector-specific cycles and providing adaptable funding options, VIP Capital Funding empowers SMBs to operate more confidently and efficiently, fostering sustainable growth and stability.

VIP Capital Funding’s approach isn’t merely about providing capital; it’s about building resilient, adaptable businesses that can thrive amidst change. The company’s industry-specific insights, combined with its speed and transparency, are designed to foster long-term partnerships rather than one-time transactions. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of understanding each client’s unique context, challenges, and growth aspirations, then tailoring financial solutions accordingly.

This strategic initiative also underscores VIP Capital Funding’s dedication to fostering economic development and supporting small and mid-sized enterprises as they face the challenges of modern markets. By providing flexible, industry-aligned, and transparent funding options, the company hopes to empower SMBs to innovate, compete, and thrive well into the future.

The Academy’s ‘World Cup Outright & Futures Betting‘ module covers more on this, including strategies for betting on group qualification, interpreting odds movements during play-offs, and positioning early in long-term markets amid uncertainty.

A Cloudbet spokesperson noted, “With groups locked in and just a few spots left, now’s the window where early odds still reflect uncertainty. This is when sharp bettors get in—before pricing tightens after March and public money floods the markets in June.”

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream Obtained China NDA Approval, Becoming The First and Only Targeted Drug for Vitiligo in China

Published

on

SHENZHEN, CHINAChina Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement published by the Group on 22 April 2025 for details) received approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) on 30 January 2026 for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product”) for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in children aged 12 years and older and adult patients. It is the first and only targeted drug approved in China for vitiligo, addressing a significant unmet clinical need.

Ruxolitinib phosphate cream is the first and only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for repigmentation in nonsegmental vitiligo[1,2]. Prior to receiving formal NDA approval, the Group benefited from the “Early and Pilot Implementation” policy granted to the Hainan Free Trade Port and Lecheng Pilot Zone (“Lecheng Pilot Zone”), the “Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect” policy, and the clinically urgently needed imported drug policies of the Beijing and Tianjin Free Trade Zones, and had already initiated the pilot application of ruxolitinib phosphate cream. Currently, Boao Super Hospital has prescribed ruxolitinib phosphate cream to over 7,000 patients with non-segmental vitiligo, and more than twenty hospitals in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Beijing and Tianjin have provided prescription services for the Product, demonstrating its clinical potential.

The product has shown positive results in both overseas clinical studies and the real-world study in China: in two identical Phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies (TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2) conducted overseas, the proportion of patients achieving the primary efficacy endpoint of at least 75% improvement in the Facial Vitiligo Area Score Index (F-VASI 75) after 24 weeks of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was 29.9% in both studies, significantly higher than the 7.5% and 12.9% in the placebo groups, respectively. Continued use up to 52 weeks showed sustained repigmentation[3]. In accordance with the relevant regulations of the Lecheng Pilot Zone’s real-world data application pilot project, ruxolitinib phosphate cream underwent real-world study in China, demonstrating positive efficacy consistent with the results of overseas pivotal clinical studies. All secondary efficacy endpoints in both domestic and overseas clinical studies showed a benefit trend consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with prolonged treatment. Furthermore, according to safety monitoring data from the Lecheng Pilot Zone, no new safety event was identified, no adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal of treatment occurred, and no study drug-related serious adverse event (SAE) occurred.

This approval in vitiligo brings new hope for treatment to over 10 million vitiligo patients in China, addressing urgent clinical needs. At the same time, it will add to Dermavon’s product portfolio in the field of skin treatment, potentially synergizing with Dermavon’s commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream), and a series of innovative drugs under development and dermatological skin care products, in terms of expert network and market resources, thereby potentially enhancing Dermavon’s position in the field of skin health.

Furthermore, the Phase III clinical trial in China of ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) has achieved positive results. Currently, the Group is actively advancing the NDA for ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of AD in China, which, if approved, will provide a new treatment option for a broader patient population with AD in China.

About Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[4]. Existing therapies, such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs), have clinical limitations, with adverse reactions or limited efficacy with long-term use. The NDA approval of ruxolitinib phosphate cream successfully fills the gap in targeted drug treatment for vitiligo and is of great landmark significance. 

More About Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream

Ruxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte, is approved for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and patients aged 12 years and older, and for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate AD in patients aged 2 years and older without immunodeficiency in the U.S. In Europe, ruxolitinib phosphate cream is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

The Group, through a subsidiary of Dermavon entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Incyte for ruxolitinib phosphate cream on 2 December 2022, obtaining an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The subsidiary of Dermavon has sublicensed the relevant rights for the Product outside Mainland China to the Group (excluding Dermavon and its subsidiary).

Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib phosphate cream, marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura® and the Opzelura® logo are registered trademarks of Incyte.

Gabriel Malkin Florida Completes 120-Mile Camino Walk with Focus, Patience, and Preparation

Published

on

Florida, US, 30th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Most students don’t spend the start of summer walking across northern Spain. Gabriel Malkin did. In June 2025, the Florida high school graduate completed a 120-mile stretch of the Camino de Santiago, one of the world’s oldest pilgrimage routes. It wasn’t a last-minute idea. It was a goal he had planned for, trained for, and quietly worked toward for months.

This wasn’t about adventure or social media. For Gabriel, it was about setting a physical goal and showing up for it every day.

“I didn’t want to wing it,” he said. “It was important to take it seriously.”

Gabriel’s prep started long before his flight to Europe. He built up mileage slowly, starting with short daily walks in South Florida. As the months went on, he added distance, tested gear, and paid attention to recovery. Blisters, sore muscles, and weather were all part of the process. So was building patience.

“The Camino isn’t just hard because it’s long,” Gabriel said. “It’s hard because you have to get up and do it again every day. Even when you’re tired. Even when nothing hurts and you feel fine—you still have to walk.”

The daily rhythm became its own challenge. Mornings often started before sunrise, with quiet stretches of trail through farmland, hills, and towns. Gabriel carried a small pack with essentials. Water, snacks, extra socks. No Wi-Fi. No schedule beyond the day’s distance. Just a clear goal and a few hours of steady effort.

That focus and consistency mirrors how Gabriel approaches most things. Whether he’s in class, on the tennis court, or working on saxophone tone, he tends to favor structure and repetition over shortcuts. It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up, improving slowly, and staying with it.

“I’ve never been the fastest or the strongest at anything,” he said. “But I like knowing I’m getting better, even if it’s slow.”

Gabriel grew up in South Florida and attended Virginia Shuman Young Elementary, Pine Crest in Fort Lauderdale, and NSU University School in Davie. He played tennis, baseball, and football through different stages of school. He also spent time hiking local trails and practicing saxophone, two interests he says helped him train for the Camino more than people might expect.

“Hiking helped with endurance, obviously,” he said. “But playing music teaches you a lot about repetition and listening to your body. You learn when to push and when to pause.”

For Gabriel, the Camino wasn’t a performance or a competition. It was a quiet personal test. He kept notes during the walk, not for a blog, but to track how each day felt. When he crossed the finish line in Santiago, there was no big moment. Just a quiet sense of completion.

Now back home, Gabriel hasn’t stopped walking. He’s back to local trails, early mornings, and training logs. He’s also thinking about what comes next—college, travel, more endurance goals—but isn’t rushing anything.

“There’s no rush,” he said. “The Camino reminded me that showing up every day matters more than trying to get somewhere fast.”

Gabriel Malkin Florida continues to build habits rooted in preparation, consistency, and follow-through. Whether through athletics, academics, or music, his focus remains steady: stay curious, stay active, and finish what you start.
