The deal, following approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is designed to broaden the range of services provided by Stubben Edge as well as the Company’s Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) and brokers’ network. Building on the acquisition of smallbusiness.co.uk and growthbusiness.co.uk, this deal further expands the help Stubben Edge can provide brokers and IFAs to help them build a comprehensive proposition across insurance, loans, and cash for the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) market.

Finpoint, is a trusted partner of the Federation of Small Businesses and UK Finance and, is also a delivery partner for various Chambers of Commerce and Growth Hubs. Its proprietary business financing platform enables SMEs to access various lending opportunities, disrupting the traditional broker market.

The platform, backed by cutting-edge technology, is efficient, transparent and free to use, making it the natural choice for SMEs looking to quickly and safely procure financing.

Finpoint’s online service checks a business’s eligibility for funding across the market using accounting and banking data, streamlining and reducing uncertainty surrounding the funding process. Then, businesses can easily choose between business loans, funding for equipment purchases, commercial mortgages and asset finance.

With an experienced team and complementary proprietary technology, Finpoint represents a new area of growth for Stubben Edge Group, expanding the offering for its customers.

Guy Bridge, CEO of Finpoint, notes, “We see the acquisition as a huge opportunity to grow the trusted approach that Finpoint has built up over the last few years as we integrate our offering into the Stubben Edge Group. We are excited about the significant potential we can achieve by combining the whole Finpoint team’s vast amount of experience in financial services, enabling us to raise our performance and continue to stand out from the crowd. Our complementary proprietary technology, along with excellent exclusive partner relationships will bring another welcome dimension as we will be the Credit Marketplace component of the broader Financial Services Marketplace that Stubben Edge Group has created. We are delighted to be part of the Stubben Edge Group.”
