Supporting SMEs With Financial Products

Co.Hub is aimed at providing small-to-medium sized businesses (SMEs) with a comprehensive listing on financial products available to them.  Launched by Philip Brennan, a former senior manager at MoneySupermarket.com, the new comparison website has been designed specifically to cater to the financial needs of the UK’s growing number of SMEs.

Founder Shares Inspiration and Vision

Commenting on his latest venture, Philip explains: “Having worked within the price comparison industry for many years, I recognised that there was a demand for a service that would provide SMEs with easy access to financial funding comparisons.  Co.Hub compares not only the services available, including those outside of the traditional banks, but also the features, benefits and costs of each of these alternative options.   The site also provides the opportunity to filter, creating targeted results.”

Plans for Future Platform Development

He continued:  “We have created a market leading finance proposition but we don’t want to stop there.  We will continue to develop the website to include further associated products.  We aim to make our site the one-stop hub that caters for all the financial needs and associated products relevant to SMEs. The aim is to ensure that SMEs can find the best financial solution for their business needs at https://www.co-hub.co.uk.”

Strategic Partnerships Drive Website Success

Co.Hub recognised that ‘now’ was the ideal time to launch the website and the company has developed relationships with both new lenders and high street banks to populate the site, ensuring that it boasts the most comprehensive listing of business financial help and products in the UK.  In addition, following the Autumn statement from Chancellor George Osborne, the timing is endorsed by the UK Government’s continued support of SMEs. In his speech, the Chancellor referenced an array of measures that will help SMEs and outlined his support for the “brilliant Small Business Saturday”.
