The firm’s winning bid included nine commitments, including a goal of 400,000 SMEs on its platform and at least 20,000 hours of certified training to accountants by 2022, GDPR compliance with its AI solution, and a commitment to diversity.

It has also committed to deliver transparency by providing annual progress reports, and has said it will work with at least two banks to deliver new products that help lower the cost of capital to SMEs.

Caroline Plumb, CEO and Founder, Fluidly, explained: “Fluidly works to help SMEs sleep better at night, by providing control, certainty and confidence around cashflow.

“We’re thrilled to have been awarded this £5M grant by BCR to scale our impact and support for businesses. We’re intent on building a product that helps businesses with their most pressing challenge and allow them to benefit from the transformational potential of AI.”
