On a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. 🚀

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks.

At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start-up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We are a high-performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs - because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better.

The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.9bn for the UK economy and supported 117,000 jobs.

Last week, we published our Full Year 2024 results. We delivered a solid financial performance, stronger than expectations, and delivered on the plan we set out last year, to be a simpler, leaner and profitable business. Our results were ahead of expectations with annual revenue growth of over 23% to £160m. We were profitable, and our credit extended grew by 47% to £1.9bn in the year. Our term loans business is profitable and, powered by our proprietary tech and data, provides 77% of UK applicants with an instant decision. We extended our track record of delivering robust and attractive loan returns to our investors, and we're continuing to see strong traction and growth in FlexiPay. We continued to listen to customer feedback and launched our new Cashback business credit card, enabling more businesses to borrow, pay later and spend with Funding Circle. Our numbers are impressive. To date, we have now extended £14.6bn in credit to over 110,000 small businesses. Our customers are the nation's small and medium -sized businesses, who are the backbone of the economy. We're excited about the future of the UK business and we believe we are well positioned to grow in a large, underserves market and help more small businesses access the finance they need to win. ...Show more
