About Us
OUR STORY
Making Business Finance Easier
Funding Pool was founded in 2020, right in the heart of Bedford, with one simple goal: to make business finance easier, clearer, and more human for small business owners.
Marc brought over 15 years of finance and accounting experience, while Curtis came from a background in marketing and customer experience. Together, they saw a gap in the market – a chance to combine deep financial know-how with a genuine focus on service. From day one, the aim was to create a place where business owners could get straightforward funding without pressure or confusion.
We believe that finance should feel simple and supportive – not stressful. That’s why we’re always honest about what’s right for each business. If we don’t think a loan is a good fit, we’ll say so. Our goal is to be a trusted partner, not just a middleman.
Since starting out, we’ve worked with businesses across all kinds of industries and learned how to tailor solutions that really fit. The best moments are when we hear from customers about how the right funding helped ease a cashflow crunch, reduce monthly payments, or give them room to grow. That’s what it’s all about for us.
We’re proud to be FCA-authorised and completely independent, which means we can always put our customers first. In an industry that can sometimes feel complex, we’re here to do things differently – adding real value through expert knowledge and a refreshingly simple approach.
Looking ahead, our mission remains the same: to help more small businesses thrive by giving them the funding they need – without the fuss.
