Funding Circle is a commercial lender. Originally it was a peer-to-peer lending marketplace that allowed the public to lend money directly to small and medium-sized businesses. Through this exchange businesses access lower costs of financing than they would get at a bank and the public are able to become lenders and in doing so make a return on their capital.[5] It closed its lending option to "retail investors" between 2020 and 2022, and then announced, in March 2022, that it had made the closure permanent.[5][6]
As of March 2022, Funding Circle had facilitated over £13.7 billion in loans to small and medium-sized firms.[7] The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
