Part of ClearCourse

Swan is proudly part of ClearCourse – a UK-based technology group that provides software and payments for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including start-ups, national retailers, many of the best-known charities, and notable brands across various sectors.

The group has a mission to build brilliant businesses by integrating the best software, payments, services and people, and we believe that by being part of ClearCourse, we can continue to scale and grow our business, and ultimately keep improving our software for you.

Being part of a larger group brings several benefits to our business – and our customers, too.

As we are part of a larger group of software and payments platforms, we can tap into the knowledge and experience of our fellow ClearCourse businesses.

If there’s a chance to integrate our software to offer a better solution, we’ll take it. If there’s the opportunity to work strategically with them to enhance what we can offer you, we’ll do so.
