Our take
Let's face it, finance has a bit of a bad rep, often being boring, tedious, and just plain outdated. Lovey (previously Love Finance) is here to shake up that narrative and bring business lending into the modern world. And they've already helped thousands of UK SMEs secure the funding they need to grow.
Lovey does so by lending their own money and working with trusted partners to make sure businesses get the best deal possible. They have a tech-first approach, which allows clients to check their eligibility in just 5 minutes and, if approved, get funds in as little as 4 hours.
Since launching in 2016, Lovey has helped over 5,000 UK businesses access more than £200M in funding and they're not slowing down any time soon.
