365 Business Finance expands partnerships team

365 Business Finance, a provider of fast and flexible revenue-based finance to SMEs in the UK, has reported a 370% increase in the number of funded deals during the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first three months of last year.

Following such significant growth in demand, as the UK economy and SMEs start to bounce back after a difficult two years, 365 Business Finance has now expanded its partnerships team to assist more businesses post-pandemic.

Joining the London-based lender as senior partnerships development manager, Paris Laldee will work alongside current team members Chris Thorne and Amy Jones, to help with recent growth and oversee all aspects of new strategic partnerships – from onboarding to relationship management. Laldee brings with him a wealth of experience having worked in the fintech industry for over seven years.

Managing director at 365 Business Finance, Andrew Raphaely, said, “We welcome Paris to the team, and are delighted to have him join us during an extremely busy period for us, following considerable growth at the beginning of this year. We anticipate the increase in demand for revenue-based finance to continue, with exciting times ahead for those SMEs currently thriving here in the UK.”
