REGISTER HERE Meet Our Speaker Daire Burke Head of Swoop Canada Three years after launching a digital platform in the UK that has enabled over 60 thousand businesses to secure financing, Irish company Swoop is expanding into North America. Swoop makes it easy for businesses to source and save the money they need to grow – all in one place. Working directly with SMEs, in partnership with banks, non-bank lenders, advisors, chambers of commerce and other participants in the financial sector, Swoop provides a digital platform where users can compare thousands of financial products and services, from loans, cash advances and credit facilities to equity, mortgages, grants and tax credits. Swoop has much to offer SMEs across Canada, where small businesses are the backbone of the economy. Although Canada has a vigorous and growing alternative finance marketplace, it is fragmented and difficult to navigate. Swoop’s platform and matching algorithm will help businesses to find the best funding options based on a company’s stage of development and sector.
