We're boosting fiscal performance
SMEs can play a pivotal role in creating much needed economic growth if more financing is made available to them. We’re proud of the impact we’ve already had to drive change, and we see lots of opportunity to further grow the SME economy in the years to come.

A sparkling case for success
Founded in 2018 by Janet and her daughters, Bethany and Nicole - the J, B, and N - JBN grew from Janet’s pivot from food safety. Inspired by her mother’s homemade recipes and encouraged by friends, she launched a range of healthy and convenient soft drinks as an alternative to alcohol.
"With support from iwoca, I secured a loan to fund recipe testing for our latest range!" - Janet Theodore, JBN Beverages
We’ve funded 100,000 businesses across UK and DE
