How Our Business Loan Matching Works
We keep the process simple and transparent. Here’s how it flows.
Step 1 – Share your funding goals
- Tell us about your company (company name, registration), trading history and turnover.
- Explain the funding amount (from £10,000) and purpose (working capital, equipment, refinance, etc.).
- Provide contact details so our partners can reach you with tailored quotes.
Step 2 – We match you with vetted brokers & lenders
We review your brief and introduce you to lenders and brokers from our panel who routinely fund businesses with similar profiles. Typical responses arrive quickly — often within hours during business hours.
Step 3 – Compare offers and choose when ready
Providers contact you directly to discuss terms. You receive multiple perspectives where available, and you decide if you wish to proceed. We do not provide regulated financial advice — final decisions are yours.

Business Loan Options We Can Introduce
Our partners offer a broad range of finance solutions for business needs. Typical loan values start at £10,000 and can go well into multi‑million pound facilities depending on lender appetite and security.
| Loan type | Best for | Typical terms |
|---|---|---|
| Unsecured business loans | Short-term working capital, small expansions | Smaller amounts, quicker decisioning, higher rates |
| Secured business loans | Property-backed or asset-backed growth finance | Lower rates possible, requires security |
| Short-term & bridging finance | Interim funding between deals or asset purchases | Flexible terms, short durations |
| Invoice finance | Release cash tied up in unpaid invoices | Facility linked to debtor ledger |
| Asset & equipment finance | Machinery, vehicles, IT & specialist equipment | Structured against asset life |
| Merchant cash advance / revenue-based | Card-driven retailers with fluctuating turnover | Repayments tied to sales levels |
| Refinance & consolidation | Simplify repayments or reduce monthly outgoings | Depends on existing obligations and lender |
Most lenders assess: company trading history, annual turnover, purpose of funding and security. If you have imperfect credit or earlier refusals, our wider panel increases your chance of finding a suitable match.

What UK Businesses Say Matters Most
Below are anonymised snapshots showing how fast, focused introductions save time (no claims or guarantees intended):
- Contractor bridging a gap: needed short-term cash between project stages and received matches to lenders who specialise in contractor cashflow.
- Clinic upgrading equipment: matched with an asset finance broker to spread the cost without draining working capital.
- Manufacturer scaling production: introductions led to options for both invoice finance and a secured growth loan to fund higher volumes.
Companies value quick responses, sector expertise and the ability to compare multiple options before deciding.
Preparing for a Successful Business Loan Enquiry
Information to have ready
- Company name & registration number
- How long you’ve been trading
- Annual turnover and recent P&L or management accounts
- Loan amount required and clear purpose
- Details of any security available (property, plant, stock)
Strengthening your enquiry
Be transparent about credit history and existing liabilities. Having up-to-date accounts and clear cashflow forecasts helps lenders speed up decisions. Small improvements — such as reconciling aged debt or preparing a purchase order — can make a real difference.
Typical eligibility indicators
Eligibility varies by lender and product. Generally, lenders look for profitable or improving trading performance, clear loan purpose, and evidence that repayments are sustainable. Some specialist lenders can assist businesses with short trading histories, but typical facilities start from £10,000.
Note: lenders may perform credit checks only if you decide to progress with an offer; submitting our enquiry does not create a credit search.
