Stepladder further revealed that it is tackling the housing crisis head-on with our innovative and powerful “StepLadder Circles” to help first-time buyers raise their property deposits and supporting them through a process that is usually lonely, stressful, and opaque.

StepLadder Circles are based on a Rotating Savings and Credit Association model (ROSCA), which Co-Founder Matt studied in Brazil for his graduate thesis in 2006. Informally used by many communities around the world, the ROSCA harnesses the power of community to help people reach their savings goals faster and keeps them disciplined to stay on track.”

  • Membership Fees: The company charges a recurring fee to cover the cost of service
  • Mortgage Origination: The company’s mortgage advisor partners pay us a fee for each Member who uses them
  • Referral Fees: The company introduces its Members to solicitors, surveyors, and other service providers who pay us a referral fee
  • Licensing Fees: As the company develops global partnerships in this next phase of our growth, it aims to generate revenue from partners who want to white label its platform
