LFS Partners with FundingAgent - Transforming the UK Finance market
In the fast-paced world of digital commerce, timing and clarity is everything. But many UK SMEs, particularly in the eCommerce and FMCG sectors, still deal with messy bookkeeping, slow financial reporting, and overly complicated funding applications.
That’s why FundingAgent, an innovative business finance platform, has partnered with LFS (Lewington’s Financial Services). Together, we’re creating a seamless, automated journey - helping small businesses access growth capital first, then streamline their financial management, so they can scale with confidence!
The Challenge: Funding Struggles Hamper Growth
Although UK SMEs frequently rely on traditional banks for funding, over 70% still depend on them as a primary source, even though these institutions often take weeks to approve loans and require extensive documentation. This slow pace leaves many brands stuck in limbo, unable to act on supply opportunities or acquisition offers.
For LFS’s FMCG and eCommerce clients, data scattered across platforms like Shopify, Amazon, Xero, and Dext makes it hard to get a clear financial picture. Cashflow problems often stay hidden until they become serious.
The Solution: A Joined-Up Financial Ecosystem
LFS is specially tailored for high-growth digital brands and provides precise automation across core financial operations:
Fractional finance support integrating Shopify, Amazon, Xero, Dext and more
Real-time bookkeeping and cashflow visibility
Expert advisory from Harry Lewington, a “chameleon” finance manager with a human-first professional approach
Now, thanks to this new partnership, LFS clients can seamlessly access FundingAgent’s automated business funding platform when growth opportunities arise:
Smart AI loan application - entrepreneurs simply input their funding amount; FundingAgent uses AI-powered enrichment to auto-complete forms behind the scenes
150+ lender network offering asset finance, unsecured business loans, invoice finance, and more
Rapid funding decisions, often within 2–24 hours
Penalty-free repayment, offering funding flexibility up to £500,000
This integration turns bookkeeping and forecasting into actionable finance solutions—reducing admin and empowering business owners to act decisively.
A Fit Made in Fintech
This partnership represents a true synergy:
LFS ensures brands have their financial house in order - centralising data, improving clarity, and freeing up owner attention for strategy.
FundingAgent then steps in to provide fast, AI-driven access to growth capital, eliminating manual barriers and slow application processes.
Together, they’ve built an end-to-end toolkit for UK digital brands:
