Forward Financing

Forward Financing is a fintech firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Boston. It provides fast, flexible revenue-based financing to small businesses across the United States that may not qualify for traditional bank loans or that require a more convenient, personalised solution. Since inception the company has deployed more than $4.5 billion in capital and served over 87,000 small businesses.

The company employs more than 500 people across a distributed footprint that includes the United States, the Dominican Republic and Canada. It operates as a 100% employee-owned company, and describes itself as people-driven, with an emphasis on career development rather than simply filling roles. Its stated core values are driving the mission, keeping it real, acting with kindness, and shooting for extraordinary.

Forward Financing's work sits at the intersection of small business finance, fintech and lending, with a focus on revenue-based financing as its principal product. The firm positions its purpose around helping entrepreneurs grow and thrive, and says its team cares both about each other and about the business owners it supports.
