Latest news
Business and finance news
Are you a lender?
No. Bridgemead Finance is a credit broker. We help businesses find suitable finance by introducing them to lenders and funders. Lenders make their own decisions.
Does it cost anything to make an enquiry?
No. Making an enquiry is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. If there are any fees for our service, we will tell you clearly before you decide to proceed.
Will an enquiry affect my credit score?
No. Sending us an enquiry does not involve a credit search. If you decide to go ahead with a lender, they will usually carry out credit checks, and we will tell you before that happens.
How much can my business borrow?
It depends on your business, what the funding is for and each lender's criteria. Enquiries can range from £10,000 to £20 million. Many of the businesses we speak to are looking for between £30,000 and £2 million.
What types of business do you work with?
We work mainly with established UK limited companies and owner-managed businesses, particularly in construction, transport and logistics, manufacturing and engineering, wholesale and distribution, and hospitality.
