Why We Exist

At Raylo, we’re on a mission to accelerate the move to a circular economy. The only way customers and manufacturers will make that shift is if it’s simple and cost-effective - this is where we come in. We’re building a category-defining global subscription infrastructure, making premium tech accessible and affordable for both consumers and businesses. With over 180,000 subscribers in the UK and growth accelerating, we’ve proven the demand for a smarter, more sustainable way to access technology.

Raylo is a fast-growing and profitable company, backed by global investors including Macquarie, NatWest, and Channel 4 Ventures. We are proud to have been selected for Endeavor’s network in 2024, underscoring our role as a high-impact, mission‑driven business with global ambitions. In 2025 we were recognised as part of Tech Nation’s UK’s Future Fifty programme. We have been B‑Corp certified since 2021 and were recently acknowledged by S&P Global for the positive impact of our circular business model via a Green Financing with NatWest. At Raylo, performance matters. We set ambitious goals, move fast, and hold ourselves to a high standard, because our mission is too important to settle for less.
