In 2005, when our founders tried to get capital for their data analytics company, the computer said no . Unfortunately, all major banks in the UK were using the same computer - and it was broken. Why was it so difficult for a profitable business with impressive cashflow, retained clients, and clear commercial success to get a loan The industry was backward-looking and too focused on historic financials, rather than future potential. So, what if there was a bank, founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneursOne that offered a dramatically better borrowing experience for businesses No more what ifs, OakNorth Bank exists.
