    What We Do:

    Funding Options started life in 2011 as a plucky little startup with a simple but powerful idea — what if instead of going to the bank, businesses could search for finance online just like individuals do for car insurance or hotels?

    We now match UK businesses with lenders across the whole spectrum of business finance, referring customers to a huge variety of providers like crowdfunding platforms, auction marketplaces, challenger banks, niche asset and invoice financiers, and even high street banks themselves.

    Along the way we've figured out lots of ways not to do it, and one or two that really work!

    How We Hire:

    We want to work with people who think creatively, try new things and are looking to make a real difference — and we're happy to make time for you to learn new skills. We believe collaboration is a great way to move the business forward, and in our daily standups you'll regularly hear developers giving an opinion on marketing strategy or account managers talking about tech.

    We're always on the lookout for talented, motivated, intelligent people to join our team. And don't worry if we don't have a role right now that suits you — we're open to creating a role for the right person. Maybe that's you?

    We have a 'no d*ckheads' policy — seriously — and we stick to it. Life's too short to spend all day in an office with people you don't like!

    Core Values:

    1. R.E.P (Respect, Engage, Perform) - We are respectful and helpful to our colleagues and customers, we collaborate effectively and aim for the highest standards

    2. We are genuinely passionate and enthusiastic about what we do

    3. We succeed by investing in our people

    4. We encourage constructive debate & new ideas

    5. We are ambitious and results driven
