This accolade is not just an achievement; it resonates deeply with our mission to revolutionise the SME lending landscape through technological innovation and serves as validation that our two key products address a real need in the market. 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭: Our White Label platform, Spark Connect, offers a valuable tool for various businesses, including manufacturers, suppliers, FX firms, and more. It enables them to seamlessly provide debt products to their customers, empowering them with financial solutions tailored to their needs.

From analysing financials to generating report content and conducting searches, our solution streamlines operations, enhancing efficiency and enabling lenders to make informed decisions swiftly. Here's a glimpse into what sets Spark apart: 📁 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚: Comprehensive data forms the foundation of everything we do. With over 5 million UK business records meticulously curated from 60 diverse public channels, we ensure that our data undergoes rigorous testing against various benchmarks. 🤖 𝐀𝐈 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Our proprietary algorithms utilise APIs to collect data and seamlessly analyse it against a tailored set of criteria. Infused with years of market experience, our AI-driven approach optimises benefits for lenders, ultimately enhancing the lending experience for SMEs. ✅ 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝: Efficiency is key, and technology enables us to achieve just that. Using AI we've accelerated the qualification process for new businesses by a staggering 75%. This translates to tangible savings of over £400 per Business Development Manager per month, underscoring the real-world impact of our technological innovations. The award sits proudly in our London office, a testament to what our incredible team has been able to deliver in a short space of time, and an inspiration to continue to develop and deliver value to our partners, positively affecting the industry.

𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 We explored in this case study how Spark identified a more suitable financing solution for a client initially seeking asset finance. As the client wanted to finance a vehicle with high mileage, instead of losing time chasing what appeared to be the obvious option - asset finance lenders - Spark pivoted straightaway to an unsecured business loan, ensuring swift and efficient funding.
