Why SportsFi is setting the Industry Standard

Why SportsFi is Setting the Industry Standard?

SportsFi tackles the fundamental operational and financial inefficiencies that hinder sports organisations.

In football, many clubs still rely on outdated methods such as emails, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and multiple phone calls for critical tasks like player transfers, contract negotiations, and financing deals, which involves tracking data. This fragmented approach is not only inefficient but also risky, non-compliant, and costly.

That's where SportsFi comes in – a comprehensive, secure platform designed to centralise and digitise all operational and financial workflows for sports organisations. It meets top-tier security standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and league-specific requirements.

SportsFi revolutionises how clubs handle end-to-end processes, including player trading, contract approvals, financing requests, document sharing, payment tracking, contingent clauses, sell-on fees, covenants, and financial submissions. Everything on SportsFi is structured, logged, and fully auditable, creating a single source of truth that eliminates silos across departments.

For clubs, this means faster decision-making, reduced errors, and enhanced visibility for ownership groups. But the real game-changer is that SportsFi delivers tangible commercial benefits:

· Lower cost of finance through transparent multi-lender access
· Zero broker fees
· Faster liquidity
· Replacing multiple third-party tools
· Eliminating operational errors
· Huge time savings across finance, legal, and sporting departments
· A single source of truth for ownership groups

The cost of maintaining the current manual process typically ranges from £500k to £3m+ per club (much higher for the bigger clubs) each year, covering staff time, compliance, higher interest costs, third parties, and external tools.

SportsFi offers a modern, compliant operating infrastructure with just one subscription, which is something clubs cannot easily build themselves.

This is the future standard for how sports transact and finance – and clubs are already moving in this direction as leagues tighten compliance and owners demand better reporting.
