Home » About multifi
The idea of creating multifi, a simplified business platform, was born from a realisation that growing companies would benefit from access to a broader range of integrated business finance tools. Offering three embedded services—finance, payments, and foreign exchange—our proprietary business finance platform has already lent £150 million to small and medium-sized businesses. But this is just the beginning; we have ambitious plans to help more businesses by expanding our range of products and services.
multifi delivers fast, flexible business financing with a user-friendly digital platform. We provide growing UK enterprises access to unsecured revolving credit facilities up to £200,000. Our streamlined application and proprietary credit model enable small businesses to secure working capital within 48 hours. No hidden fees, just transparent pricing.
Our senior leadership team comes from diverse industry sectors, but they all have experience running small and medium-sized businesses. Understanding what makes companies tick has driven a passion for helping other businesses grow by harnessing technology.
By championing businesses and providing the tools they need to succeed, multifi aims to take the faff out of business finance, playing our part in supporting the economic growth of the UK.
