We deliver 1–9 month business financing with daily or weekly repayments, and 90% of completed applications receive an offer within 4 hours. Whether clients apply directly or through a broker, we make the funding journey sharp, clean and simple.

Our Mission
To back ambition — disrupting traditional finance and connecting businesses to capital that moves as fast as they do.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead underwriting on deals ranging from £25k to £750k.
- Analyse financial statements and open banking data to evaluate creditworthiness.

- Structure offers that balance speed, risk, and commercial value.
- Partner with the sales team to ensure fast decisions and clean execution.
- Escalate and advise on complex edge cases and scenarios.
- Maintain CRM accuracy and detailed underwriting documentation.
What We're Looking For
- Highly organised — nothing gets missed, nothing gets dropped.
- Thrives in fast-paced environments with many moving parts.
- Clear, professional communicator with a commercial edge.
- Self-starter who remains aligned with team goals.
Bonus: Experience in unsecured, short-term SME underwriting.
Our Offer
- A fast, focused environment where impact is immediate.
- Full ownership and a voice in how we improve.
- Growth opportunities with a company scaling quickly.
