Company Description
Funding Options is the leading online marketplace for business finance. We help businesses in the UK and the Netherlands find the right funding for their situation – whether they need new machinery, want to boost their cashflow, or buy more stock.
We exist because each year, millions of firms don’t fit traditional bank lending. Using online comparison technology, Funding Options makes it fast, easy and transparent for businesses to access the right alternative finance. We’ve helped our customers raise millions, won a host of industry awards, and have been designated by HM Treasury for the Bank Referral Scheme, to help UK businesses find alternative finance when they’re unsuccessful with the major banks.
Funding Options is one of the winners of Nesta’s Open Up Challenge for Open Banking, and a member of Tech Nation’s Upscale Programme for high-growth technology firms.
What We Do & How We Do It
Funding Options connects small and medium businesses with the funding that’s right for them. Whether that’s asset finance, commercial property finance, invoice finance or a merchant cash advance, we can source the right product for them. Using Open Banking, our record in funding a business is 1 hour 23 minutes, from landing on our website to money in the bank account.
Using cutting-edge online comparison technology and API integrations, our algorithm matches the business’s requirements with a panel of more than 200 lender partners to source the most suitable funding option for their needs. Our hybrid model of technology and human interactionsets our customer journey apart from the crowd.
