Our Beliefs and Mission
We believe in the power of small businesses and the positive impact they can have on the communities where we live and work. Every business deserves financial opportunity, including small businesses, which form the backbone of our economy. That’s why we do what we do.
Forward Financing is a Boston-based financial technology company with an operational hub in the Dominican Republic, providing fast, flexible working capital to small businesses that have been underserved by traditional financing options. It is our mission to build a world-class fintech company so our customers and our people can reach their full potential. And judging by the news about our company, we’re well on our way!
Our History
Core Values
Drive the Mission
We believe in financial opportunity for underserved small businesses. We say “yes” when others say “no.”
Keep It Real
We value direct communication, candid feedback, and authenticity. We are an open book.
Act With Kindness
We create an environment where caring is cool and helping is the norm. We do the right thing.
Shoot for Extraordinary
We are inspired by innovative thinking and continuous improvement. We never settle for yesterday’s best.
Our People
We owe much of our success to the talented team members we are lucky to employ. Our diverse and driven group of about 460 people, with approximately 200 based in the United States, and about 260 in the Dominican Republic, is a 100% employee-owned company. We have a 4.4 Glassdoor rating across over 200 anonymous employee reviews, with 90% saying they approve of our CEO.
Maintaining an A+ culture across all our teams – whether they’re working in-office, from home, or anywhere else they choose – is mission-critical for us. We treat our people well because we care about them as individuals, not just workers. A career at Forward is challenging, fulfilling, and fun!
