Also known as: iwoca
Iwoca Ltd is a UK fintech company that provides short-term working capital loans to small businesses. It focuses on quick, flexible lending for SMEs — particularly for cash flow needs, stock purchases, or bridging gaps between invoices.
Iwoca's lending decisions are technology-driven, using real-time business data including accounting software data, bank statements, and payment history to assess creditworthiness quickly. This allows faster decisions than traditional bank lending processes, sometimes within hours.
Products include revolving credit facilities and term loans for businesses. The revolving credit facility means businesses can draw down and repay funds repeatedly rather than taking one fixed loan. This flexibility is useful for businesses with variable cash flow needs.
Iwoca participated in government-backed lending schemes during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is one of the larger alternative business lenders in the UK and has lent to hundreds of thousands of small businesses.
If you have an Iwoca loan and need to contact them, details are available on their website at iwoca.co.uk. Iwoca Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
