Century Business Finance Named SME Awards Finalist 2026

Written by Century Business Finance | Jul 27, 2026

Century Business Finance is proud to announce that we have been named a finalist in the Business of the Year (Less than 50 Employees) category at the SME National Business Awards 2026. The awards celebrate outstanding small and medium-sized businesses from across the UK, recognising organisations that are making a significant impact within their industries through growth, innovation and customer success.

Being recognised in one of the awards' flagship categories is a fantastic achievement for the whole team and reflects what has been another year of continued growth for Century Business Finance.

Over the past 12 months, we've continued to invest in our people, technology and customer experience, all with one clear objective: making business finance simpler for UK businesses.

From improving our digital application journey and expanding our lender panel to strengthening our customer support and growing our team, everything we've done has been focused on helping more businesses access the finance they need, without the complexity often associated with commercial lending.

A Team Achievement

Whilst awards are always appreciated, this recognition belongs to every member of the Century Business Finance team.

Every conversation with a customer, every application processed, every partnership built and every improvement made behind the scenes has helped us reach this point.

We know that great businesses are built by great people, and we're incredibly proud of the culture we've created as we've continued to grow.

Supporting UK Businesses

Since launching in 2017, Century Business Finance has helped thousands of UK businesses access funding to support growth, manage cash flow and invest with confidence.

Our focus has always been on making business loans simple by combining straightforward technology with expert, personal support. Every customer is supported by a dedicated account manager throughout their journey, ensuring they receive guidance from application through to funding and beyond.

That commitment to long-term relationships remains at the heart of everything we do.

Looking Ahead

To be recognised alongside so many successful UK businesses is an honour in itself, and we're looking forward to attending the SME National Business Awards later this year.

Whatever happens on the night, being named a finalist is another milestone in Century Business Finance's journey and one that reflects the hard work, ambition and commitment of our entire team.

We'd like to thank our customers, lending partners and everyone who has supported us along the way. We wouldn't be here without you.

We'll be keeping everything crossed for the awards ceremony in November.
