Our Beliefs and Mission
We believe in the power of small businesses and the positive impact they can have on the communities where we live and work. Every business deserves financial opportunity, including small businesses, which form the backbone of our economy. That’s why we do what we do.
Forward Financing is a Boston-based financial technology company, providing fast, flexible working capital to small businesses that have been underserved by traditional financing options. It is our mission to build a world-class fintech company so our customers and our people can reach their full potential. And judging by the news about our company, we’re well on our way!

Our People
We owe much of our success to the talented team members we are lucky to employ. Our team of 180+ dreamers and doers is a 100% employee-owned company.
