We’ve partnered with BIRA to help support even more independent retail businesses

Exciting news – we’ve partnered with the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA) to help support independent retail businesses all over the UK. 

This new partnership will give BIRA customers direct access to fast, hassle-free funding with us, as part of our mission to support small and medium sized businesses with the finance they need.

BIRA has been helping retail businesses for over 120 years, from single retail outlets to small chains and large department stores. Like Funding Circle, they believe in the impact these businesses can have, which is why they strive to provide them with savings on crucial business services, and support on areas of strain like business rates, parking and staffing. 

By partnering together, we can expand BIRA’s offering to support its customers with quicker and easier access to finance, too. Through a dedicated landing page, eligible BIRA customers will receive information on how they can apply for a loan as well as instant offers.

As specialists of small business lending, we’ve already helped over 135,000 businesses worldwide access more than £15.2 billion, and we’re excited that this partnership will allow us to reach even more businesses within the retail sector.
