Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Accessing funding is vital for the growth of businesses of any size, but finding the right lender can be a time-consuming process. Access to lenders is often limited and the funding options that they provide follow a "one size fits all" approach, leading available options to be unaffordable and inaccessible to SMEs.

Fundingxchange provides an SME fundraising marketplace, allowing small businesses to access lending options from over 70 providers. The marketplace leverages the business data of every applicant to provide personalised quotes within three minutes and facilitate payment within 24 hours, whilst maintaining a high level of transparency in regard to lending terms, fees, and interest.

Whilst there is no denying that many lending services are currently saturating the market, Fundingxchange has recognised that traditional and uniform lending terms greatly limit the access to funding that SMEs have. Through its personalised approach and promise of rapid turnaround, the company aims to help democratise access to funding and ensure that every applicant has complete control and visibility over the funding they will receive.
