**What is Fair Finance**:
Fair Finance was launched in 2005 by Faisel Rahman in a converted doctor's surgery on an East London council estate. It was established as a local community response to offer a direct alternative to doorstep and illegal moneylenders in one of the poorest parts of the country. The idea built on Faisel’s experience of microfinance in South Asia and applied its principles of success in the UK.

We are a not-for-profit social business offering an affordable loan product to get people out of extortionate debt and on a pathway out of exclusion. In addition, we’ve developed money advisory services for people struggling to manage their finances and a business lending offer to local businesses and entrepreneurs.

We grew initially through a network of branches across London before expanding online and across the country. The pandemic resulted in the closing of our physical branches and the business continuing the online journey into a digital business. Our focus remains on the people left behind by the mainstream financial sector and on some of the poorest in society.

We are supported by a range of social investors, both individual and institutional who finance investment into the growth and development of the organisation, as well as commercial banks who finance the growth of the loan book.

The people at Fair Finance represent a cross section of commercial and social sectors who have chosen to pursue a career of purpose. Many of Fair Finance’s staff members have first-hand experience of the issues we’re dealing with, and some may have previously been clients. Others are attracted to the social mission of the business and the opportunity to achieve impact at scale.

Over the last few years, the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis have really highlighted the importance of our work, and as such we are embarking on an ambitious program of growth and transformation so that we can meet the challenges facing some of the poorest and most excluded in the coming years.
