The round follows a seed funding round of £2.5m, which was completed in 2017, and almost a year of integration with GoCompare’s services. In addition, the company has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with LSL mortgage broker networks – which, at the end of 2017, had some 2,298 mortgage advisers and arranged £21bn in lending in 2017.
