Fleximize is a UK-based alternative finance company providing business loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded in 2014, the company offers unsecured and secured lending products and has been cited in industry reports as part of the growing UK alternative finance sector.

History

Fleximize was co-founded in 2014 by Max Chmyshuk, Peter Tuvey, and investor Daniel McPherson, during a period when traditional banks reduced SME lending following the 2007–08 financial crisis.[1]

The company initially offered revenue-based repayment options for SME loans and later expanded to commercial lending and term loans. By 2015, it had lent £4 million to SMEs and secured £5.5 million in funding.[2]

In April 2017, Fleximize closed a £16.3 million financing facility from Hadrian’s Wall Secured Investments, bringing total lending to £40 million.[3]

In September 2023, Fleximize secured £136 million in financing backed by Goldman Sachs and Citi to expand SME lending solutions.[4][5]

Industry context

Fleximize operates within the UK alternative finance sector, which grew significantly after traditional banks reduced SME lending post-2008. Independent industry research identifies revenue-based and alternative business lending as expanding segments, with Fleximize cited among participating companies.[6][7]

Products

The company’s primary product is the Flexiloan, offering unsecured and secured loans ranging from £5,000 to £500,000, repayable over 12–60 months. Products are designed for SMEs trading at least 12 months and may include repayment holidays, top-ups, and penalty-free early repayments.[8]

  • Best Business Loan Provider and Best Alternative Business Funding Provider at the Business Moneyfacts Awards 2024 and 2025.[9][10]
  • Growth Business of the Year at the East Anglian Daily Times Business Awards 2025.[11]
  • Best Business Finance Provider at the British Bank Awards.[12]
  • Elite Business 100 (2025): Ranked among Britain’s most outstanding SMEs.[13]
