How it works

From enquiry to funding, step by step

We handle the legwork of finding and applying for finance, so you can keep running your business.

  1. 1

    Send us an enquiry

    Use our short online form or email us. Tell us how much you are looking for, what it is for and a little about your business. It takes about two minutes and does not involve a credit search.

  2. 2

    Talk it through

    A broker will contact you to understand your business, your plans and your timescales. We will explain which types of finance could work and what lenders are likely to need.

  3. 3

    Prepare your application

    We help you gather the information lenders ask for, usually recent accounts, bank statements and details of existing borrowing, and present your business clearly.

  4. 4

    Approach suitable lenders

    We approach lenders whose criteria fit your business and sector. Lenders carry out their own checks and make their own decisions.

  5. 5

    Compare the options

    We set out the offers side by side, including the cost, term, security required and any fees or commission, so you can make an informed decision.

  6. 6

    Funding and beyond

    Once you accept an offer, we help see it through to completion. We stay in touch so we can help with your next funding need.

What does it cost?

Making an enquiry is free and there is no obligation. We may receive commission from lenders when finance is arranged, and we will tell you about any commission or fees before you proceed.
