FundingSearch, a commercial finance platform based in Sheffield, has been chosen by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to participate in a regulatory innovation event focused on SME finance technology. The platform recently opened its services to a broader range of lenders, aiming to enhance financing options for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The FCA’s Techsprint event provides an opportunity for fintech companies like FundingSearch to collaborate with regulators and industry stakeholders to develop innovative solutions that improve access to finance for SMEs.
**Why this matters**
Small and medium-sized enterprises often face challenges securing finance, which can limit their growth potential. By inviting platforms like FundingSearch to participate in regulatory innovation initiatives, the FCA supports the development of new technologies that could streamline lending processes and increase funding availability for SMEs. This collaboration may lead to more efficient, transparent, and accessible financial services for businesses.
