ABOUT US

The Fluidly promise

We’re on a mission to enable every business to take control of its financial future. We want to help business owners sleep better, by giving you the tools you need so that you never worry about your finances.

Forecast, plan scenarios, get funding and chase debtors all in one place.

WHERE IT BEGAN

Our Story

Like all great businesses, Fluidly was created as a solution to a problem our founder and CEO Caroline Plumb knew all too well first-hand.

Cashflow was a constant concern when she set up her first business (at just 21!), FreshMinds Consulting. FreshMinds is in the recruitment sector, notorious for late payments, and she was fed up of worrying about whether she could afford to make payroll or not.

Caroline wanted to create a solution that used data to help businesses get paid faster while providing certainty and peace of mind over their finances – the monitoring of cash, the use of cash, and the ability to raise more cash.

Yes, we said cash a lot there, but cash is king after all. 80% of small business failure is due to cashflow issues.

WHERE ARE WE NOW

We’re just getting started

Since 2017, we’ve created not just a new product, but a brand new way of thinking about cashflow. Intelligent Cashflow isn’t just about smart forecasting, although that’s a big part of it. It’s a one-stop solution that helps you get a complete overview of your business finances – so you can take the right action, whether that’s chasing late invoices or securing a loan.

To date, we’ve helped over 30,000 businesses, worked with over 500 accounting partners and facilitated millions in funding solutions.

There’s been lots of awards, from being listed in the FinTech 50 to being named Xero’s app of the year. We were awarded a £5m BCR grant for our innovation – and have raised over £12m investment. And we’re only just getting started.
