Confidence in finance, growth for your business

Our mission is to make business finance accessible for every small business to thrive. We help business owners take control of their financial future by understanding their credit profile, checking the financial health of companies they work with, and accessing the funding they need to grow with confidence.

Our commitment to sustainability

We believe small businesses have a powerful role to play in shaping a more sustainable future. From day one, we’ve believed that building a better business means caring for more than just the bottom line.

At Capitalise, we’re committed to doing our part.

We switched to digital processes to reduce paper, made sure recycling bins were easily accessible and hold regular volunteering sessions to clear up our local communities.

Supporting the women of Capitalise

At Capitalise, we’re committed to celebrating women’s achievements, raising awareness against bias and taking action for equality. In 2021, we started our own Women’s Network to do just that - and have since made this community part of our fabric as a business. 

We aim to deliver education and access to opportunities and experiences that contribute to the personal and professional development of Capitalisers. To put our goals into action, each quarter, we host sessions to to both educate the whole network on important, and often overlooked topics.
