A Cheshire software platform that harnesses smartphone technology to remove the need for face-to face contact in the banking, legal and recruitment sectors is set to double its workforce and boost its turnover by the end of the year.
FastDox, based in Handforth Dean, was established 18 months ago and is forecasting an increase in turnover by more than 60% to £2.5m.
The company includes national debt charity StepChange as one of its clients and plans to double staff numbers by the end of 2021.
Founder Colin Fildes said: "We are aiming to change the way that transactions are done – addressing the clunky, slow and outdated methods that are used in regulated businesses.
"The platform enables companies to supercharge their processes through smart automation, onboarding customers faster than ever before.
