Join our new Circle for 2023

Retraining or studying?

Is 2023 your year to develop your skills and help other people? Do you want to change your career by retraining but haven't been able to afford the course? StepLadder can now help you pay for life-changing skills training with our GAINING A NEW SKILL Circle.

How can I prepare myself financially to pay for my course?

If you've been dreaming of becoming a business coach, a PT or a therapist or if you're keen to stay ahead of the AI curve with a new career involving human interaction, StepLadder could help you.

You can decide to put aside either £100 a month for 10 months (£1,000 total) or £250 for 12 months (£3,000 total).

Our new GAINING A SKILL' Circles begin every month and the draws begin the following month, so you could potentially have your lump sum to put towards your retraining within 5 weeks of signing up.

How much money will I need for my course?

If you’re not sure how much you want to raise in your GAINING A SKILL Circle…here are some stats for you.

The average cost to train to become a PT or Life Coach in the UK is between £1,500 and £3,000. You will need to factor in money to help you through times when you might not be earning when you're learning too. You may need to think about purchasing equipment or marketing/design support to set up your new venture.

Here’s how we’ve helped some of our Members…

  • "I’m saving in a group which means I’m actually going to do it! And, I could get my money within my first month - 10 months faster than if I was saving by myself. I will definitely keep saving this way and join another Circle."

    Ed, StepLadder Member

  • "I've always struggled with putting specific amounts into savings. I've saved and then taken money right back out. Stepladder gave me discipline over 12 months that I don't think I would have had on my own."

    Leslie, StepLadder Member

  • "On my island [the StepLadder concept] goes by a French name - the Susu. StepLadder is very much based on this system and I was impressed. All my queries were dealt with quickly and I was put at ease."

    Leona, StepLadder Member

  • "We were very happy to secure our home in time for our first child’s birth. Without using StepLadder, we would have needed at least another year to raise the £25,000 and we would still be stuck renting."

    Navjot, StepLadder Member

A community finance club

StepLadder is a powerful digital platform taking the ROSCA money-raising concept online for the first time ever. Raising money in a group means you are supported by your new community and our team.

You will join a Circle with other people raising money to gain new skills, so you can share tips and moral support in the Circle chat function in the platform.

What are the benefits of StepLadder Circles?

1 - Get the money you need in less than two months

In times of rising inflation you need to get ahead of the banks. By joining a StepLadder Circle you can avoid expensive loans to get the money you need - and up to 90% faster than raising money alone.

2 - Build better money habits that stick

When you put money in your Circle every month a few things will happen; you create a good habit, build your credit score and really consider where your money goes - all things that will help stabilise your financial future.

3 - Enjoy playing the draw every month to see if you’ve won!

Our Members love spinning the StepLadder wheel on Draw Day (the 7th of the month) to see if it’s their turn for the cash lump sum! The platform is also full of articles, tips and news to help you learn more about your finances.
