We’re thrilled to announce that Love Finance has been named the fastest-growing financial services firm in the Midlands and East by the 2024 UK Fast Growth Index! This recognition celebrates the hard work of our team and the trust of our customers and supporters.

The UK Fast Growth Index highlights the top-performing businesses across the UK. Built on insights from over 50,000 entrepreneurs, it celebrates companies driving innovation and growth.

Love Finance is proud to also rank:

• 11th Fastest Growing Financial Services Firm in the UK

• 62nd among the UK’s fastest-growing businesses overall

We’re proud to be part of this esteemed UK Fast Growth Index 2024  list, which collectively contributed a staggering £9.6 billion in turnover growth and created 24,000 new jobs between 2021 and 2023.

In 2023, we achieved a turnover of £4.7 million, demonstrating the power of our customer-first approach. By blending expertise and automation, we’ve facilitated over £150 million in loans for more than 4,000 businesses. This has earned us accolades like:

• Recognition in the Financial Times’ Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies.

• A spot in the Top 15 Fastest Growing Finance Companies in the UK.

• A 4.9-star Trustpilot rating.

• Certification as a Great Place to Work UK.

As part of our growth journey, we’ve also strengthened our leadership team with the formation of a new Board of Directors –  

• Alex O'Malley as Managing Director, leading our growth strategies.

• Jenny Sadler as Finance Director, ensuring strong financial governance.

• Sally West as Sales and Operations Director, enhancing operational excellence.

• Kai Hunter as Non-Executive Director, providing invaluable strategic oversight.

This leadership team will help us deliver even more innovative, customer-focused solutions.

So, how did we get here? The secret lies in our people and our product. Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in both, building a team that’s as sharp as it is committed and continuing to refine a platform that takes the headache out of securing business loans. Whether developing smart tech to match businesses with the right funding or just picking up the phone to walk someone through the process, we’ve kept one focus: making finance work better for SMEs.

These accolades are more than just shiny titles—they’re a nod to the hard work, innovation, and tenacity that drive everything we do. For us, it’s not just about growth for growth’s sake. It’s about empowering the businesses we serve and building relationships that last.

Of course, we’re celebrating (there might be cake), but we’re also doubling down. There’s more work to be done, more challenges to tackle, and more businesses to support. If this year has taught us anything, it’s that growth isn’t just a number—it’s a team effort, and we’re just getting started.

Thanks to Fast Growth 50 for acknowledging our hard work - and thanks most of all to the whole team at LF who have made it happen.

As we step into 2025, we’re excited to keep innovating and empowering businesses across the UK. Here’s to another year of growth and success!
