About Funding Circle

Funding Circle has one goal and one goal only: to help build a better financial environment for business owners like you.

We believe that getting a business loan should not be unnecessarily difficult. You should be able to obtain the financial capital that you need to take your business to the next level.

Take your business further

That is why we created our peer-to-peer lending platform with the primary purpose to help business owners to secure much-needed loans at faster speeds with fairer, non-exploitative conditions. It is an unfortunate reality that way too often so many businesses struggle to grow due to a lack of capital.

We want to even out the playing field

We are the largest peer-to-peer lending company in the UK with 39,000 businesses have managed to finance their goals by borrowing £3.5 billion through our platform. The numbers speak for themselves.

There are no fees for full early repayments and you can get a decision regarding your online application in as little as 5 hours.

We help you manage risk

Although all businesses that borrow through us are rigorously checked for creditworthiness before they can be allowed to request loans, there are unfortunately still risks inherently involved in investing. However, we have put systems in place that help to mitigate some of these risks.

  • Our vastly experienced team makes use of advanced technology to thoroughly check every application to ensure only those credible are approved.
  • We help you build a diversified portfolio, allowing you to spread your lending across multiple businesses thus lowering your risk.
  • Our dedicated, award-winning collections and recoveries team will work hard to recover as much as they can for you in the event that a business is unable to fully repay their loan.

Creating sustainable communities

Investors and borrowers play a vital role in uplifting communities. When investors lend money, they are not only helping businesses but the community at large as well. Think of it as a ripple effect: when businesses get funding, they are afforded the chance to further develop and expand. This, in turn, translates to them being able to create jobs, which in turn translates to growing local communities.

It is this impact of driving the economy forward which drives us to continue creating opportunities for people like you.
