Rayar is a Latin verb that means to shine (usually of the Sun); or to emit light. There is an extra ‘y’ in our name which makes it a Palindrome.
Inspired by the original verb, our motto is: "Just as the Sun’s rays light up our planet and everything in its path, we aim to brighten our clients future with better access to funding!"
