Why Female Founder Finance
With more than 40 years experience in the financial services sector we have been aware of many female founders who have been disadvantaged when seeking access to finance. More recently the high profile reports from women like Alison Rose (The Rose Review) have created the platform for the inception of Female Founder Finance.
If women were able to start and scale new businesses at the same rate as men a further £310bn could be added to the UK economy.
We also understand that success is more than just money. We also offer mentorship and networking opportunities to meet like minded women in business. We firmly believe that by supporting one another we can create a more prosperous and equitable future for all.
We are proud to be a company that champions diversity and equality and that means we prioritise working with female led businesses and those from other under represented communities. It should be a level playing field for all when accessing financial services and support.

The Problem
One no should never be the end of the road
That no is not the answer. It is just the wrong door
One no should never be the end of the road
Lenders are increasingly marketing to women founders. That is a good thing. But what they do not tell you is that they have a single product to sell. If your business does not fit their criteria, the answer is no, and they cannot point you anywhere else.
The data shows a clear pattern
That no is not the answer. It is just the wrong door
One no should never be the end of the road
Research shows that when a female founder receives a single rejection from a lender, the majority do not go back out looking. They stop. Not because the funding is not there, but because no one showed them where to find it.
