Love Finance, the UK’s fastest-growing SME lender and broker, has announced a new partnership with iwoca, one of Europe’s leading SME lending providers, aimed at making access to finance even faster and easier for small businesses. Through this collaboration, iwoca’s API will be fully integrated into the Love Finance platform, enabling quicker decisions and a smoother end-to-end experience for SMEs.
The integration represents a major step forward in Love Finance’s commitment to simplifying and accelerating business finance. With iwoca’s technology embedded directly into its platform, Love Finance can now deliver faster, more precise lending decisions and offer tailored funding options for every business—without sacrificing flexibility or control.
This partnership comes at a crucial time for UK SMEs, as speed is a key factor when choosing a lender. According to the latest iwoca SME Expert Index, 72% of brokers cite “speed of receiving a decision” as a top deciding factor, highlighting why automated workflows and real-time decisions enabled by iwoca’s API on the Love Finance platform, are so transformative for SMEs.
iwoca’s technology checks each business’s eligibility in real time, so applicants get faster and clearer answers on their loans. For SMEs, this means a smoother application journey and access to funding with less waiting and fewer barriers. This integration comes as both companies continue to scale rapidly. Love Finance has funded approx. £400 million in loans for more than 8,000 SMEs across the UK, doubling revenue year on year while remaining profitable and independently founded. Together with iwoca, which has lent over £1 billion to SMEs in 2025, this partnership strengthens both companies’ ability to deliver fast, flexible funding to UK businesses.

“Every business owner faces moments that matter – and needs quick, reliable support. By partnering with Love Finance, we’re making it easier for SMEs to access fast, flexible funding exactly when they need it, empowering them to focus on growing their businesses with confidence.”
This announcement highlights Love Finance’s utilisation of technology to simplify and accelerate SME lending, perfectly accompanying the recent £45m funding they have secured to expand access to business funding. SMEs applying for loans can now receive faster and more transparent responses, making the application process smoother and more efficient.
