Eight years ago, we started Monte Forte from a converted horse trailer at Redhill Market, serving Neapolitan pizza and chasing a dream. Since then, our journey has taken us from the markets to three thriving restaurants, a growing events business, and a passionate team that shares one simple mission — to bring pizza, passion and great people together.
In 2024, for the first time ever, we decided to do things differently. Instead of turning to banks or institutional lenders, we invited our community to help us grow — and you delivered. Through the very first Monte Forte Growth Loan, we raised £450,000, which funded the opening of our Farnham restaurant. Every penny has been repaid on time, with complete transparency and regular updates to our lenders, who became true partners in our story.
Now, we’re doing it again. Round 2 of the Monte Forte Growth Loan will help us fund two exciting new projects that will both complete by the start of December, including our new HQ, prep and training facility in Crawley, and another restaurant that marks the next phase of our expansion.
🍕 So, what is the Growth Loan?
It’s a unique opportunity to lend directly to Monte Forte and play a real part in our journey, while earning a healthy return. You choose the amount you’d like to lend and the term that suits you, and we’ll handle the rest, repaying your loan every month with up to 9% APR, depending on the duration.
Last year’s lenders continue to receive their repayments every month, supported by regular updates on our progress and plans. With this round, we’re once again opening the doors to those who believe in what we’re building.
From humble beginnings to a fast-growing restaurant group, Monte Forte has always been about community, authenticity and ambition. This next chapter is about scaling that spirit, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
