LendingCrowd announces that it ranked number nine in the 2025 Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the UK. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over the last three years. LendingCrowd grew 2,792% during this period.
LendingCrowd’s founder and CEO, Stuart Lunn, credits the SME lending platform’s continued investment in its technology, people and processes with the company’s 2,792% revenue growth over the past three years.
He said: “Since LendingCrowd launched in 2014, we have delivered more than £515m of loan funding to businesses the length and breadth of Britain. This award reflects the trust placed in us by thousands of SMEs – the backbone of the British economy.
“Our mission remains clear – to provide businesses with the funding they need to thrive, powered by cutting-edge technology and a customer-first approach.”
LendingCrowd was also named the fastest-growing technology company in Scotland
Garry Tetley, Deloitte partner based in Scotland, said: “To be included in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 requires consistent revenue growth over a three-year period, so being one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the UK is a great achievement. LendingCrowd should be applauded for its strategic vision and commitment to innovation.”
The 50 fastest growing UK technology companies, as ranked by Deloitte, generated £2.41bn in combined total annual revenues in the year 2024/25. The Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 recorded an average three-year growth rate of 1,905%.
Kiren Asad, lead partner for the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme, said: “For nearly three decades, the Fast 50 has highlighted rapidly growing and innovative technology companies across the UK. And 2025 is no different with this year’s cohort having grown around 20 times on average over three years, showing that the UK tech scale-up sector is continuing to demonstrate remarkable resilience amidst global economic shifts.
“I extend my warmest congratulations to all the companies recognised in the 2025 Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50. Their achievements are a testament to the vibrant spirit of the UK tech sector – creating jobs, driving economic growth and shaping a better future for the UK and beyond.”
