Varadero is one of a wide range of investors - including banks, asset management companies, insurance companies, government-backed entities, individuals and funds - who are using the Funding Circle platform to make a significant difference to small businesses in every corner of the UK. Today's news builds on a previous lending partnership between Varadero and Funding Circle.

 

Lisa Jacobs, CEO at Funding Circle said:

"It's great to see Varadero and Funding Circle's partnership continue to strengthen. This further commitment will benefit thousands of UK small businesses, who will use this funding to grow, create jobs and invest in their communities. I'm proud such a diverse range of investors see our technology and distribution platform as an effective way to deploy capital into the real economy."
