Thirdfort secures £1.5m from existing backers and the Government to accelerate product development.

Thirdfort has secured £1.5m in a growth funding round raised entirely from existing backers, with funds matched by the Government through the Future Fund. The capital will enable the business to accelerate product development and support ongoing expansion within the legal and property sectors. Notable participants in the raise include serial entrepreneur Alex Chesterman alongside Mishcon de Reya, Chris Marks, and David Rutter.

The raise follows a period of rapid growth for the compliance specialist, driven by increased demand for remote onboarding during the pandemic. The company currently facilitates checks for over 30,000 clients each month across more than 500 firms, while expanding its headcount significantly. Management intends to use the proceeds to solidify its position in legal compliance and push further into adjacent markets involving estate agents, brokers, and lenders.
