Our Founder & Managing Director
Our founder Willem van Lynden created Rise Funding to help source the best funding for businesses, and has since led the company to help hundreds of SMEs source the funding they need and remove the stress of finding business finance.
Willem started the company following decades in business financing, and has a wealth of experience in funding, growth and leading organisations – which all feed into our success.
For too long, businesses have to deal with the time-consuming process of finance complications and poor funding. Willem’s mission is to secure the best funding solutions for the businesses that need it the most, and unlock the capital they need to grow, manage cash flow, or overcome financial challenges.
