Wise Connect San Francisco 2025: Taking Your Business Global

According to Melio’s Chief Business Officer, Prashant Gandhi, many small businesses across America work on just 29 days of working capital. But that’s not actually serving as a hurdle to international expansion. At our recent Wise Connect San Francisco event, he offered an in-depth perspective into the key challenges facing American SMBs.

“Going global is no longer reserved for massive corporations. The ability for all businesses, regardless of size, to go international, has unlocked tremendous new opportunities. However, it also means that small business owners now face an entirely new set of challenges.”

“Operating globally requires you to function locally in each market you enter. This creates a complex maze of regulations, payment schemes, and customer expectations that can quickly overwhelm small business owners who just want to focus on what they do best.”
