iwoca offers funding to support the thousands of small businesses that struggle to access finance through the banks. More startup than financial institution, we use technology to eliminate the cost and complexity associated with traditional business finance. 

Importantly, iwoca is extremely fast. You can sign up in as little as 5 minutes and funds can be in your account within hours of completing your application. We also offer a simple product without complex fees and offer far more flexibility. Find out more about our product here

In addition, our platform allows you to link your online accounts such as Amazon, PayPal or Xero to build a 360 degree view of your business. We analyse the data behind your business to make fair credit decisions based on your business turnover, customer feedback and other sales data not easily accessible to banks.
