Our Mission...
Trade Ledger exists to create a world where every business gets the capital it needs to thrive. Through the use of smart technology and new digital datasets we have created a credit orchestration platform so lenders can embed, launch and scale next-gen working capital products - quickly to a much wider audience.
We specialise in making complex working capital products — Invoice Finance, Asset-Based-Lending, and Receivables Finance — simple, intuitive, and sustainable. From origination to in-life management, our ‘out-of-the-box’ designs help lenders launch new digital products in as little as 90-days.

- Leading and Inspiring: Guide the UI team towards high-quality standards, ensuring the codebase is scalable, maintainable, and integrates accessibility standards seamlessly.

Trade Ledger exists to drive positive change in the world by reinventing how business lending works - so capital flows more freely into businesses and the communities they support.
Our lending-as-a-service platform brings together all the data that business lenders need throughout the customer lifecycle, analyses that data, and automates key processes. With Trade Ledger, lenders can lend faster, to more businesses, more sustainably.
From origination to decision and structuring, we’ve made traditionally complex loan products simple. Our configurable product designs give you the tools to embed, launch and scale new loan products fast. Including but not limited to Asset-Based Lending, Invoice Finance and Receivables Finance.
Our platform is designed from the ground up for rapid and flexible deployment of integrated working-capital loan journeys. API-first, cloud-native, configurable and totally SaaS. It’s composable too - which means you can connect Trade Ledger to an infinite number of independent, best-in-class systems
