Swishflix Ltd. is an British technology and media services provider and production company headquartered in Normanton, West Yorkshire. SwishFlix was founded in 2019 by James Klaassen White in Pontefract. The company's primary business is its subscription-based streaming service which offers online streaming of a library of films and television series. As of July 2020, SwishFlix claimed to have over 750 thousand active subscribers. It is available worldwide except in Crimea.

Establishment
James Klaassen White founded SwishFlix in December 2019, only two months after his previous streaming company - FasterTV was closed down due to being unable to pay debts. Klaassen White had sold FasterTV but was partly blamed for taking £50,000.00 from the company before he sold the business.

Klaassen White invested the £50,000.00 in SwishFlix. He brought his close friend, Adam Magor, as a Non-Executive Director. Both Magor and Klaassen White made multiple deals with movie and tv-series distributors. SwishFlix uses its sister company SwishHost to power the websites. Until April 2020, the servers were hosted with Google Cloud Platform and were subsequently moved to in-house servers.

Covid-19 (2020)
The company announced that there was massive demand for it's services. More resources were assigned and the company was reportedly forced to expand globally due to global users (outside of the UK) overtaking the amount of UK users. The company also changed its content publishing time from daily to weekly to enable staff to work more normal hours. The company also hired more people to deal with the massive increase in customers.

Ownership
SwishFlix is owned by the Swish A Ltd. group.
