What is commercial finance and who is it for?

Commercial finance covers the range of borrowing and funding options used by companies to buy property, bridge cashflow gaps, fund projects, buy equipment, refinance debt or support growth. Options span short-term products (bridging finance, invoice discounting) to long-term facilities (commercial mortgages, term loans, asset finance).

This page is aimed at limited companies and other business structures seeking finance from around £10,000 upwards — whether you need working capital to manage seasonal demand, buy premises or fund a development project.

If you want to find suitable lenders or brokers who understand your sector and requirements, begin with a Free Eligibility Check — it takes less than two minutes.

How our 4‑step matching process works

1. Complete a short enquiry: Tell us basic business details, funding need and contact info (takes under 2 minutes).
2. Smart matching: We use that information to select the most relevant lenders and brokers from our panel.
3. Introduction: A nominated broker or lender will contact you by phone or email to discuss options and next steps.
4. Compare and decide: Review proposals and choose the provider and product that best fits your business.

We do not provide financial advice and do not underwrite or fund loans. Our role ends at making a fast, relevant introduction — your chosen provider handles the rest. To begin, Get a Free Eligibility Check.

Commercial finance solutions we can introduce

Our panel covers a wide range of commercial products. Below are common solutions and typical uses:

• Commercial mortgages & property finance — purchase or refinance commercial premises; loan sizes typically from £50k to several million; term 5–25 years; security usually against the property.
• Bridging & development finance — short-term funding to bridge a purchase, complete a refurbishment or fund development; usually completed quickly (days to weeks); higher rates than long-term finance.
• Asset & equipment finance — finance for machinery, vehicles, or specialist equipment; options include hire purchase and leasing; flexible terms aligned to asset life.
• Invoice & cashflow finance — unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices (invoice discounting/factoring) to support working capital; decision speed can be very fast.
• Growth, expansion & buy-out funding — tailored term loans or structured facilities for acquisitions, management buyouts or major investment.
• Refinancing & debt consolidation — restructure existing facilities to improve cashflow or simplify repayments.

Exact loan terms, security and pricing depend on the lender’s assessment. For a tailored introduction, complete our short form: Get Quote Now.
