About FSCO / FSCO

FSCO is human-centred and connected. Our job is to bridge the gap between borrowers and lenders. That means we use data to do good. And, we’re good at it.

Businesses are more than invoices and assets—they have a unique narrative. They’re powered by people and have in-built potential.

At FSCO, we see a world where this potential is realised; a world that’s fairer, simpler and more open to new possibilities and technologies.

FSCO exists to revolutionise agribusiness. Our system goes beyond traditional funding methods by leveraging operational data and empowering lenders to make more informed decisions, we support agribusinesses to claim better access to capital than ever before.

Our founders, David Inderias and Ben Lyons bring more than 40 years of combined industry experience. Using their technology and supply chain expertise, David and Ben have transformed funding methods and unlocked trillions in capital—previously unattainable due to underperforming data.

At FSCO, we are driven to transform businesses’ capital access by changing the old industry narrative. We are backed by a senior leadership team with global and multi-industry experience as we continue creating positive change through fintech innovation.
