The Lend platform is set to transform the SME finance market through automating the process of matching a lender with an SME, using a sophisticated combination of AI and analytics. In addition to this, Lend has also launched LendScore – an industry first tool exclusively available to brokers through the platform which provides brokers with a score on the likelihood of their client’s loan getting an approval from a lender.

Co-Founder and Australian entrepreneur Bill Baker, who has also founded various other successful finance companies including carloans.com.au and Fleet Choice. Bill believes the market is on the verge of a major shakeup both from a tech perspective and as SMEs increasingly turn to non-bank sources for loans, both prevalent themes in the business space.
