Jump‑start Your Business Funding Journey with FundOnion
Today, FundOnion kicked off its brand‑new, AI‑powered comparison platform that lets small businesses nail down the best loan options in one fell swoop. Think of it as a financial “hunting” app that does all the heavy lifting for you.
What the Site Does in a Nutshell
- Compare 20+ lenders – Get a side‑by‑side view of rates, terms and fees.
- Speedy decisions – Skip the back‑and‑forth paperwork and get offers almost instantly.
- Transparent pricing – No hidden fees or surprise charges pop up.
Why It Matters
The Bank of England recently highlighted that one in four small businesses get denied when they apply for bank loans—a hiccup that leaves a staggering £22 billion chasing the financing they need. Traditional application routes are as tedious as a marathon, and with interest rates climbing again, businesses deserve a clearer path to funding.
FundOnion’s platform answers that call. It gives entrepreneurs the power to see every possible option at once, making the whole process a lot less daunting and a lot more affordable.

Meet FundOnion: The Start‑Up That’s Turning Loan Shopping Into a Speed Quiz
Since 2020, FundOnion has been on a mission: make finding business funding feel less like a hunt and more like a quick, friendly chat. Their secret sauce? A blend of AI smarts and seasoned finance pros that hand‑pick the best loan deals for you.
How It Works (And Why It’s Cool)
- AI First: The platform asks a handful of quick questions, then crunches the data to predict what you can afford and where the sweet spot lies.
- Human Touch: A team of SME finance experts steps in to tweak the numbers and give you a final, rock‑solid offer.
- Speed Demon: One of their earliest loans landed in a jaw‑dropping 19 minutes—the fastest “quick‑hit” you’ll find in the industry.
Why It’s a Game Changer
- Rates & Terms that Other Sites Won’t Offer: By partnering with a wide array of lenders and processing loads of loans, FundOnion can push you for terms that would otherwise be out of reach.
- 500 Million Pounds Behind the Dashboard: More than 6,000 local firms have used the platform to tap into half a billion pounds of capital. That’s not just a number—it’s a community of businesses growing and tightening their operations.
The People Behind the Power
It isn’t just software; it’s a team that’s walked the same trenches:
- James Robson – CEO & Co‑Founder, a former SME broker who knows what holds founders back.
- Neil Cassule – CCO, who brings hands‑on loan‑broking insights.
- Tim Plummer – CTO, once at Funding Circle, dedicated to closing the SME funding gap.
“Small business finance has been stuck in the same stagnant place for far too long,” says Robson. “By blending tech with real expertise and top‑tier lenders, we’re offering a truly unique playground for business owners to compare, research, and apply for loans—all online. The goal? To keep the journey transparent, stress-free, and full of opportunities.”
That’s the Bottom Line
FundOnion makes it easy to scan a market that used to be a maze, giving you a fully digital experience that leaves room for your entrepreneurial dreams.
