Funding Circle heads to Brazil

A quick new business update: We’re excited to reveal that we’ve just started working with Funding Circle, the online marketplace where savers and investors directly lend to small businesses in the UK.

Founded by three entrepreneurs in 2010, the company is unlike any other, and we’ll be working closely with them to increase traffic and position Funding Circle as a true alternative to a bank for savers, investors and small businesses. We’ve already kicked it off with some great online coverage in April (in the Telegraph, the Independent and on This is Money) and May (on the BBC, in City A.M. and on MSN UK), and the team, led by Brazil associate director Sean Williams, will be working hard to keep it up throughout the year to ensure that Funding Circle meets its ambitious growth targets.

You can find out more about Funding Circle at its website, and if you’re a journalist, email fundingcircle@agencybrazil.com for further information or comment.
