Partners and investors
Serious infrastructure for the UK domestic build market.
Assurr is being built as a payment trust layer between homeowners and contractors. We are speaking with payment partners, insurers, lenders, trade bodies, and investors who care about this market.
Where partnership conversations fit.
Regulated payment partners
Discussions with electronic money institutions and other regulated payment providers are open.
Insurers
Domestic build cover with a richer underlying evidence record. Conversations welcome.
Lenders
Stage-release lending with consistent milestone and evidence structure.
Trade bodies
Membership signal that travels with member firms across projects.
Investors
Early-stage conversations with investors familiar with UK fintech and construction. Not a fundraise announcement.
Adjacent platforms
Co-marketing or integration conversations with platforms that already serve the audience.
Partner questions
What does Assurr control and what does the payment provider control?
Assurr controls the project workflow: parties, milestones, evidence, changes, approvals, queries, and the rules that determine when a payment instruction is allowed. The regulated payment provider controls the regulated movement and safeguarding of money. That separation is deliberate.
Can Assurr work with lenders, insurers, merchants, or trade bodies?
Yes. The project record is designed so a partner can participate at the point where its role matters without becoming the source of truth for the whole job. That can include funding a stage, supplying materials, adding a verification signal, providing cover, or consuming project evidence through an agreed integration.
How is the money protected?
Once a milestone is funded, the money for that stage stays within regulated third-party payment infrastructure until the agreed project process allows it to move. The contractor can see that the stage is funded, while the homeowner does not have to hand that money directly to the contractor before the agreed release conditions are met.
Is Assurr FCA-regulated?
Assurr is not an FCA-authorised payment institution. Assurr provides the project, milestone, evidence, approval, and payment-instruction workflow. Regulated payment services are provided through third-party payment infrastructure, so project money does not sit in Assurr's own operating account.
Is Assurr an escrow service?
Assurr itself is not an escrow provider and does not take custody of project funds. Funded project money sits within regulated third-party payment infrastructure and moves only through the release, refund, or resolution route that applies to the project.
Does Assurr replace my building contract, architect, or building control?
No. Assurr sits alongside the contract and the professionals already involved in the project. It gives both sides a structured record of the agreed work, milestones, evidence, changes, queries, approvals, and payment decisions. It does not replace professional certification, inspection, or contractual rights.
Are you open to investment or strategic partnership conversations?
Yes. Assurr works with organisations that can strengthen the payment, construction, insurance, lending, merchant, verification, or distribution layer around domestic building projects.
