Financefair
Founded in 2015 as InvoiceFair, the company was re-branded as Financefair in September 2023. Financefair was born out of a realisation that ambitious companies looking to scale were struggling to secure growth funding from traditional financial service providers. Existing funding options were not designed to allow companies to optimize their growth on their own terms and take control of their own destiny. Our vision is to provide solutions that address this funding gap. Our purpose is to help companies to fund their own future, by converting their invoices and future revenues into upfront growth capital. Uniquely, we provide funding at every stage of the credit lifecycle, offering a powerful mix of solutions to help companies grow. This allows them to take control, react to market opportunities, grow faster and create more value without restriction. In the past 8 years, we have advanced an impressive €1.5bn+ to growing UK & Irish companies. WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE? The only Financial Services Provider that offers funding solutions at every stage of the credit lifecycle. No Personal Guarantees required from Business Owners to secure funding. No restrictive concentration limits – either debtor or geographic – translating into more funding to fuel growth. Managed by business people providing fit for purpose funding for business people. A clear and transparent cost of finance model. Access to funding within 24 hours. WHAT TYPE OF COMPANIES DO WE WORK WITH? Mid-sized companies based in the UK & Ireland, who have been trading for a minimum of 1 year and have a turnover of €1m+.
