Peerport Limited (trading as MultiISA) is targeting the multi-million-pound market and claims to offer a holistic approach to Individual Savings Account (ISA) management. The company asserts that traditional ISA managers don’t give users enough flexibility with their investment choices. Current ISA rules restrict investors to only one ISA of each type per tax year. This impedes the investors’ ability to build a diversified IFISA portfolio. Peerport argues that its portal offers investors the freedom to operate multiple accounts like Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA), Cash ISA, and Stocks & Shares ISA under a single ISA management platform. The company will use the investment to finalise the build-out of its end to end platform, fund its office space, manage marketing costs, oversee staffing costs, pay regulatory fees and supervise working capital.

Cocoon Card Limited (Cocoon) is a financial technology company that helps businesses grow by helping them understand which customers they should provide 0% interest payment terms too, 0% interest instalments means a consumer can buy something today and pay for it in the future. It also helps them collect and manage these payments. The company's software has two components, that is, Risk Management Module (RMM) and Instalment Collection Module (ICM). RMM assesses if a potential customer can pay in instalments while ICM prepares a collection plan if the customer is deemed creditworthy. Cocoon asserts that its product removes the need for third-party lenders and allows businesses to serve the UK's ~14 million 'thin-file' consumers that are rejected from mainstream 0% interest finance. The company has envisioned an investment target of £150,000 and anticipates an exit in 3-5 years by either a trade sale or Private Equity (PE) buyout.
