Neal Watkins, Executive Vice President of Product at Sage, added, “Our partnership with Funding Circle is exciting as it simplifies access to loans and funding for SMBs so they can focus on running their businesses.

Firms can also access Flexi Pay, Funding Circle’s new finance product which is an interest-free line of credit allowing small businesses to easily manage their cash flows.

Since over 130,000 small businesses have accessed more than £14.5 billion through Funding Circle, and one million Sage’s customers, this collaboration is all set to revolutionize funding access to SMBs.

Alexander Allen, UK Managing Director at Funding Circle, said, “We are proud to team up with Sage and launch another partnership via our API, increasing access to funding for more small businesses in the UK. We are really looking forward to building our relationship with Sage and its customers, with the potential to expand into the US in the future too.”
