History of Smoove plc

The Group’s business was founded in 2003 as an innovator and enabler of online services, principally in the property, legal and financial market.  Smoove was admitted to the London Stock Exchange’s AIM in July 2014.

In November 2020, Smoove sold its subsidiary Conveyancing Alliance for £27.3m to fund the development of its portfolio of disruptive digital technology.

Smoove has three key pillars to its growth strategy:

Demand Generation – Use technology to generate significant additional instruction demand from our broadened network of introducers.

Smoove Complete - A platform business utilising our unique market position and capabilities to develop a new conveyancing proposition delivered by self-employed Consultant Conveyancing Lawyers ("CCLs").

Optimised Cross-Selling – Provide consumers with great conveniently available deals on household finance and utility products at a time when they will be most in need of those products.
