What more2life does

more2life Limited is a UK-based later life lender founded in 2008 and headquartered in Preston, operating as a subsidiary of Theo Topco Limited (Key Group), a diversified retirement-focused financial services conglomerate that also owns Key Retirement Solutions, Standard Life Home Finance, and AIR Group. The company specialises in lifetime mortgages, offering twelve product variants (Apex, Apex Interest Reward, Flexi, Flexi Interest Reward, Horizon, Horizon Interest Reward, Maxi, Maxi Zero, Omni, Tailored, Tailored Interest Reward) to homeowners aged 55 and over, designed to release tax-free equity from their main residence with no monthly repayments required. All products meet Equity Release Council standards including a no negative equity guarantee, fixed-for-life interest rates, and portability, and the company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The business runs exclusively through intermediary distribution — qualified equity release advisers access the platform via the Fastpath online application portal and AIR Group sourcing system, supported by a dedicated Business Development Manager and Telephone Account Manager team. Adviser-facing technology includes Fastpath (application and case management), ProView (pre-underwriting case review), an LTV Calculator, a Lending Criteria Tool, a Retained Equity and Repayments Calculator, an Adviser Enquiry Form, and a Dedicated Support Tool. Revenue is generated primarily through interest charged on the lifetime mortgage book (transaction-fee spread model), supplemented by application and valuation fees; loan sizes range from £10,000 to £2m+ depending on product, with LTVs of approximately 2% to 58.90% and minimum property values of £70,000.

Funding for the lending book is sourced through relationships with six wholesale partners — Phoenix Group (Capital Choice and Horizon plans), Rothesay Life (Flexi Choice), RGA Reinsurance (Maximum Choice), Just Group (Tailored Plus, Tailored Lite, Interest Choice, Premier Choice), Slate Wood Financing (Prime Choice, Prime Plus), and Equity Release Europe (Omni) — making more2life a specialised originator and servicer rather than a balance-sheet funder. The company is positioned as one of the UK's largest equity release lenders with a Trustpilot 'Excellent' rating, operates 51-100 employees, and markets to advisers through content resources including a Growth Toolkit, Lender Lens market insights hub, and the corporate website.

Revenue model

1. Lifetime Mortgage Lending: more2life provides lifetime mortgages secured against UK residential property. Revenue is generated through interest charged on loans. Customers aged 55+ release tax-free cash from their homes with no monthly repayments required - interest compounds over the life of the loan until the property is sold (upon death or move to care). The company offers various product types including lump sum and drawdown options, with some products featuring interest reward discounts for regular payments.
