Thrivr’s partnership with Freelancer Financials enables the flexible workforce to achieve home ownership

We’re thrilled to announce a partnership between Thrivr, the benefits app for the flexible labour workforce, and specialist contractor mortgage broker Freelancer Financials.

Launched in April this year, Thrivr is the fast-growing benefits app that’s revolutionising how flexible workers access workplace perks, wellness and financial advice. Freelancer Financials has been supporting the mortgage and protection needs of contractors, umbrella payroll employees, freelancers and the self-employed for more than two decades.

Both businesses have a history of innovating their markets, Thrivr being the first app to address the specific needs of the growing number of contract workers in the UK, and Freelancer Financials pioneering the concept of “contract-based underwriting” with lenders, securing over 30,000 mortgages for contractors as a result.

The flexible economy is booming, yet traditional financial services often leave contract workers behind, putting up barriers to home ownership and access to impartial financial advice. The partnership between Thrivr and Freelancer Financials changes that narrative, ensuring that flexible workers have access to the specialist support they need to finance the homes they deserve.

Freelancer Financials is the leading mortgage broker for the flexible labour workforce, with more than 20 years’ experience and access to specialist lenders who understand flexible workers and how they are paid. As a 100% independent, family-owned business, the expert broking team at Freelancer Financials can give truly impartial financial advice, and all processes are streamlined to work around the member’s schedule.

John Yerou, MD of Freelancer Financials said of the partnership:
“In the crowded benefits marketplace, Thrivr stands head and shoulders above the competition. Led by some of the most experienced names in the business, Thrivr has a laser focus on the flexible labour workforce, which has been under-served for specialist financial advice in the past. We see ourselves as a natural partner with Thrivr, as we have a long history of arranging mortgages and protection policies for contractors, umbrella company employees and freelancers. With our lender relationships and experience in this market, our brokers can source the right mortgage deal at the right terms for the specific circumstances of Thrivr members, however they work. We look forward to supporting Thrivr members and to seeing Thrivr building a significant footprint across the flexible labour workforce with its innovative offer for this sector.”

Chris Chambers, Co-founder and CEO of Thrivr commented:
“We always look to partner with the best-in-class provider across our offer to members. This partnership with Freelancer Financials adds even more value to our offering, bringing deep contractor market expertise and a proven track record in securing mortgages for umbrella and self-employed workers. It’s another step in making sure our members have access to the specialist services they need, all in one place. ”
