FSE Group: digital health score 59/100

We reviewed FSE Group (thefsegroup.com) for the SME Lender Digital Audit, Credit Canary’s independent study of 104 UK SME lenders built only from public information. FSE Group’s digital health score is 59 out of 100: the bottom third of the sector, and 78th of 94 overall. Measured across the set, FSE Group is 10 points below the sector median of 69. Its strongest area is mobile speed, at 52 out of 100, a little behind the 57 SME lender average, so how fast the site feels on a phone is already working. The biggest gain is in findability: 67 against the 81 average, and the quickest way to climb the table.

Findability scored 67, 14 points below the 81 average, covering showing up and making sense to Google. On mobile speed, FSE Group scored 52, a little below the 57 average (how fast the site feels on a phone). Measurement: 45 out of 100, 6 points below the 51 SME lender average. That covers whether the firm can see what is working. For accessibility, 82 out of 100 is a little below the 87 average: being usable for everyone, an Equality Act duty.
