The accolade places Carmoola alongside the most ambitious and high-performing scaleups in the region and highlights its rapid rise as a result of transforming the car finance experience for consumers.

Compiled by Sifted – backed by the Financial Times – the leaderboard identifies startups demonstrating outstanding momentum. With thousands of startups evaluated, being named in the top 25 confirms Carmoola’s place among the region’s leading innovators.

Aidan Rushby, Founder and CEO of Carmoola, said: “From day one, our mission has been to put customers in the driver’s seat – literally and figuratively – by making car finance simple, fast, and fair.

“Being ranked so highly among such impressive companies is a testament to our incredible team and the trust our customers place in us every day.”

Carmoola’s customer-centric approach is what truly sets it apart. In an industry often criticised for opacity and outdated processes, Carmoola has introduced a tech-first, transparent, and empowering alternative for car buyers. With rapid approvals, flexible terms, and a user-friendly app, the platform is reshaping how people think about and access car finance.

Rushby added: “The Sifted ranking serves as validation not just of Carmoola’s business growth, but of a deeper shift in the market – where customers expect better, and companies like Carmoola set a new benchmark for what great looks like.”
