How Our Business Loan Matching Service Works
- Complete a Quick Enquiry — tell us a few business details, the amount you need and what the funds are for. This is not a credit application.
- We match you — your details are compared to our panel and sent to brokers or lenders with relevant appetite for your case.
- Receive responses — selected partners contact you with options, indicative pricing and next steps.
- Decide and progress — compare offers and proceed with the lender/broker you choose. Credit checks may be carried out by lenders only when you agree to apply.
Typical initial responses often come within hours during business times. The whole process is designed to minimise effort on your part while widening your access to appropriate finance options.

Flexible term loans for working capital, expansion or refinancing. Typical amounts available from £10,000 upwards, with terms from months to several years depending on the lender.

Unlock funds tied up in unpaid invoices or secure trade lines to support international trade and supplier payments.

- Companies upgrading equipment or vehicles
- Firms refinancing existing borrowings to improve cashflow

Tell us your sector in the enquiry and we’ll prioritise partners who understand your business needs.
Estimated Costs, Terms & Responsible Borrowing
Costs and terms vary widely by lender, product and the business’s circumstances. Indicative points to consider:
- Interest rates and APR will depend on product, term and credit profile.
- Fees — arrangement, broker, legal or early repayment fees may apply.
- Security — some facilities require assets or personal guarantees.
- Repayment terms can range from short-term facilities to multi-year loans.
We do not provide financial advice. Always compare full written terms and consider independent advice if unsure. Borrow responsibly and only take on finance your business can sustain under reasonable scenarios.
