About ThinCats

One of the leaders and pioneers of the peer to peer business lending industry, ThinCats specialises in secured loans and has been since 2009.

We link retail and institutional investors directly with established business borrowers in the UK to provide a feasible, affordable and better platform for investors and borrowers alike.

Attractive rates for investors and borrowers

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, ThinCats was founded with the aim of offering peer to peer loans to UK businesses who struggle to access funding through traditional banks and lenders. However, our innovative platform provides investors with attractive rates of interest that are not available through many other conventional investment portfolios.

Personal approach to investing and borrowing

Our principle ethos is to avoid decision making that are algorithm-led. Why? Because our founders were keen to hear the stories behind the borrowers’ investment requirements and measure each one based on its merits. We achieve this by harnessing the knowledge of financial experts to assess each loan application. Every day, we strive to encourage growth, development and innovation in UK business.

Opportunity and innovation

As a result from the belief that online loan applications deserve more than just harsh impersonal consideration, we use innovative data analysis combined with a human touch to assess each loan, and taking into account the story behind each case. We believe in nothing less than providing real opportunity for SMEs that encourages growth, development and advancement in UK businesses.
