What we’re all about
We believe there’s something different about people who start their own business – a unique spirit that sets them apart. A blend of drive, ambition and self belief – people who have mettle.
So we’ve built an app that embraces that spirit – one that you can rely on and makes managing your finances as fast and simple as possible.

That’s why we’ve built Mettle to provide small business owners with the resources they need to effectively manage the financial side of their business.

Our journey so far
Eight of us working on an idea. We kicked things off by surveying 800 potential customers and conducting 20 interviews. Our strategy became clear.
Our first transaction. We bought a mince pie for the NatWest CEO with the first Mettle card.
We launched Mettle on TestFlight and invited customers to work with us to develop it further.
What a journey so far. Working with customers in our early access phase helped to shape the future of Mettle and make it accessible to businesses across the UK.
20 of us working on the product. Using qualitative data, we began to define key account features and develop our invoicing tool.
We created the first version of the app, brought on our first internal customers and began testing before launch.
We updated the app to make it more accessible and useful. As we evolved to meet the needs of our customers, we updated our brand identity to represent who we are as a business.
