Zuto is the UK’s leading online car finance marketplace that makes financing a used car simple, removing complexity and matching consumers with the fairest and most compliant finance package that’s right for them. The company has the largest key affiliate partnerships in the UK market, including Autotrader, Gumtree and Clearscore , a strong reputation for regulatory compliance and ranks as one of the leading brokers in the UK.

With our investment, Zuto has rebranded (formerly CarLoans4U), invested in its technology platform and enhanced its customer experience through online automation. The company has also embarked on a recruitment drive expanding the technology team within its Manchester office, and adding customer experience roles at its Macclesfield contact centre. SEP also introduced Chris Slater to the board as NXD and is supporting Zuto with its strategy of bringing simplicity, trust and transparency to its customers and the UK car finance market more generally.
