Helping power SMEs’ growth

Our mission is to build the place where small businesses get the funding they need to win. We do this by delivering an unrivalled customer experience powered by data and technology. Over the past decade, we’ve built a technology platform that is revolutionising SME lending. Thanks to our instant decision capabilities, SMEs in the UK can complete a lending application in minutes and receive a lending decision in seconds, accessing funding quickly and at an affordable rate.

To date we’ve helped over 100,000 SMEs access more than £13 billion in credit. This finance is helping to create jobs and power the economy.

Our flywheel for growth

Our technology platform enables us to test, learn and adapt to provide better finance solutions for SMEs and help solve more small business problems. We innovate and iterate in a continuous feedback loop, committed to driving improvements in machine learning, technology and data.
