History
The company was founded in 2008 as Motoring.co.uk by Terry Hogan and Chris Green and provides various tools for motorists including free car valuations, car comparison and car reviews. As of 2015, it had two million registered users with over 850,000 monthly visits.[2]
Initially Motoring.co.uk focused on providing classified adverts in the used car market and has since diversified significantly; providing a wide range of content, information and services for users across buying, selling and owning a car. It is known for offering a large array of free tools to both consumers and auto-enthusiasts.
In August 2014, Motoring.co.uk secured £500,000 from The Greater Manchester Loan Fund (GMLF), managed by Maven Capital Partners to accelerate the launch of its new platform, MyMotoring.co.uk.[3]
In May 2017, it was announced that a rebrand would take place.[4]
In February 2018, Regit launched a crowdfunding campaign to scale its user base from 1.4 to 6 million users.[5]
