A new tech-driven finance brokerage, Stable, has officially launched to better support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK.
Acting as a strategic layer between SMEs and the often-overwhelming and complex fintech ecosystem, Stable plans to distil complex options into clear, high-performance tools for growth.
Equals Group‘s former chief commercial officer Tom Kiddle, ex-deputy chief financial officer Steve Paul, and founding CTO Dom Hutson, teamed up to establish the new company after recognising that UK SMEs remain underserved, which is hindering their ability to grow.
“We created Stable to bring together the best tech under one roof, so British businesses can stop wasting time and start smashing their growth goals in 2025,” explained co-founder Kiddle.
Stable combines deep sector expertise with AI infrastructure that streamlines how SMEs access and manage finance: from frictionless onboarding to smart funding options that not only red tape, but also speed up access to essential capital and services.
Its launch comes having already established partnerships with a number of fintech providers, including Equals Money, Stored, Spark Finance, Navro, and Finseta, to deliver lending, collections, and payment solutions to UK businesses.
James Hickman, CEO of Finseta, commented: “UK SMEs are bombarded by choice but often rely on their bank for payments and foreign exchange services, where they are underserved and overcharged. The Stable partnership gets world-class payment capabilities quickly into the hands of UK businesses that rely on them for growth.”
“Our partnership with Stable means we can reach more business owners who need funding quickly and effectively,” added Julian Dobbin, founder of Spark Finance.
A growth-focused solution
Recognising that the financial industry is fragmented in many ways, Stable says it aims to position itself as a trusted broker and aggregator of high-performance fintech solutions. Ultimately, it hopes to empower SMEs in the UK by simplifying and expanding access to smarter tools, enabling them to grow faster and more confidently.
Ian Strafford-Taylor, co-CEO of Equals-Railsr, also commented: “I am delighted to see two graduates of the ‘Equals Academy’ coming up with such an innovative business idea that will provide much-needed service to smaller business that are so often overlooked. We are delighted to be a partner to this nascent business and look forward to assisting in its success.”
