FundBiz Data API
FundBiz publishes its verified UK specialty business finance lender data as a read-only public API and as an MCP server for AI clients. The data is the same one behind the UK Business Finance Lender Index: lender terms (ticket range, typical rate, decision time, soft-search, Ltd-only and FCA-regulated flags) and a current market snapshot. No authentication, no personal data, released under CC BY 4.0.
REST endpoints
Base URL https://fundbiz.co.uk/api. All responses are JSON with open CORS, an ETag and edge caching, and are rate limited per IP. Full machine-readable contract: OpenAPI 3.1 spec.

|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/lenders | List all verified panel lenders. Optional filters: ?q=, ?product=, ?ltd=true, ?soft_search=true, ?fca=true. https://fundbiz.co.uk/api/lenders?product=asset%20finance |
| GET | /api/lenders/{slug} | Detail for one lender, keyed on the canonical lender slug. https://fundbiz.co.uk/api/lenders/funding-circle |
| GET | /api/rates | Current market snapshot: panel size and eligibility-flag counts plus the Bank of England base rate as a dated reference. https://fundbiz.co.uk/api/rates |
MCP server
The same data is exposed as a remote Model Context Protocol server over streamable HTTP, so MCP-capable AI clients can read it directly.

Terms
Read-only and free under CC BY 4.0: attribute FundBiz and link back to the Lender Index. Every figure originates in our verified lender dataset. Specialty finance is risk-priced per file, so per-lender pricing in typical_rate is a published headline band, not a quote. The Bank of England base rate is published with an explicit as_of date; verify against the Bank of England before relying on it. Endpoints are rate limited per IP; please cache responses and avoid abusive request rates.
