LendingCrowd among Scotland’s fastest growing businesses

LendingCrowd, the award-winning financial technology (fintech) platform, has been featured in the inaugural Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50 list of the fastest growing businesses in Scotland.

Hot on the heels of being named Scotland’s fastest growing technology company in The Sunday Times 100 Tech 2026, LendingCrowd is delighted to be included in this list of innovative Scottish businesses. To be eligible for inclusion in The Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50, companies had to demonstrate average annual revenue growth of at least 20% over the past two years, before a panel of judges selected the final 50.

Stuart Lunn, Founder and CEO of LendingCrowd, said: “This is a fantastic result for LendingCrowd as we continue on our mission to be the trusted source of affordable finance for SMEs across Britain.”

LendingCrowd has also been featured multiple times in the annual Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 – most recently in 2025, when it was named the fastest growing technology business in Scotland.

Deloitte’s EMEA Technology Fast 500 ranked LendingCrowd as the 28th fastest growing technology company across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in 2025.
