Description

Who are we?

Our mission is to build the place where small businesses get the funding they need to win.

We do this by uniting cutting-edge data and technology to deliver an unbeatable customer experience. With a decade of expertise under our belt, we\'ve built a game-changer of a platform that\'s reshaping the landscape of SME lending. Say goodbye to lengthy applications and hello to lightning-fast decisions! In just minutes, SMEs across the UK can get an instant decision, giving them access to affordable funding in a flash.

99% of businesses are small businesses! And in most cases aren\'t given the finance they need to grow. We\'re here to change that because the world needs small business.
