About Funding Search
Who we are
FundingSearch is a technology-led company focused on improving how business funding is discovered, evaluated, and delivered. We work at the intersection of finance, data, and infrastructure to modernise a traditionally manual industry.
Phillip Evans, Founder & CEO
Phillip was a commercial finance broker with nearly 30 years of industry experience. He built FundingSearch to address fundamental inefficiencies in how UK businesses access commercial funding. His deep expertise spans business loans, asset finance, bridging loans, invoice finance, and the broader commercial lending landscape. Phillip brings both the technical vision for modern fintech infrastructure and the operational understanding of how brokers, lenders, and borrowers interact. Phillip was also invited to join the FCA in their Open Finance Tech Sprint for SME Lending.
