They have a deep experience in all aspects of financial services from front line engagement with clients to building systems and processes, marketing, risk management and compliance.
As well as their very diverse senior management experiences, they have already built two banks from scratch, built a credit brokerage as well as one of the most successful IT companies in the North of England which introduced the UKs first request to pay service.
All the management team are driven by their desire to help SMEs. Every member of the team has experience of either building their own businesses or working with SMEs and understands how unfair the current market structure is.
We recognise the importance of SMEs to society and the contribution they make for everyone. They are vital to us all.
Any SME or anyone who works with SMEs knows how hard it is to get the financial support they need. In 1988 40% of all bank lending went to SMEs, yet today it is closer to 4% despite the big 5 banks still being the largest providers of finance overall. This is a huge drag on the economic success of the UK.
The Bank of England has acknowledged the problem in its response to the Van Steenis report on the future of finance in the UK confirming that it supports the introduction of digital legal identifiers for SMEs and portable digital credit files.
The principals involved in building Finance Nation go way beyond the provision of simple loans but the UK lending market alone for SMEs is @£35Bn per annum.
The solution we are building has the potential to meet multiple needs. By building comprehensive digital footprints Finance Nation will help SMEs access all the services they need for their financial health from “cradle to grave” including Pensions, Insurance, Equity, Wealth Management etc.
At Finance Nation we want to work closely with all areas of the value chain whether you are an investor, an SME, a professional advisor, a broker, a lender or indeed if you offer advice or services which could be included within the platform.
Some platforms and data companies believe that a fully technological solution is all that is required to support SMEs. We disagree. We believe in technology with humanity. The over-arching aim of the business is to provide a layer of support to SMEs which involves all their key stakeholders. It is up to the SMEs to decide who they are, and our job to respect and support that.
