How we work with brokers

Funding Circle is the UK’s leading SME finance platform. Since 2010, Funding Circle has extended c.£17bn in credit to over 125,000 businesses in the UK. Funding Circle operates a dedicated intermediary channel that allows introducers/brokers to facilitate financing for their SME clients. The partnership is built around a digital Broker Portal, where intermediaries can submit applications for finance, often receiving instant eligibility decisions.

Brokers manage the entire end-to-end process on behalf of their clients, from submitting documentation to selecting commission levels. To support our brokers, Funding Circle assigns dedicated Business Development Managers (BDMs) to help structure complex deals and provide updates on a diverse product range that includes term loans (both unsecured and secured), FlexiPay lines of credit/RCFs, Cashback business credit cards, and the Government-backed Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS).
