Deals that other funders can’t offer by lending our own money to customers we know and trust

Unlike many finance brokers, we offer something unique which is the ability to lend our own money to customers we know and trust. This gives us the flexibility to structure deals that other funders simply can’t offer. While we still act as a broker, having access to our own book funds means we can support businesses that might not fit the standard automated approval process. Every application is reviewed on its individual merits; we take the time to understand your situation, ask the right questions, and tailor a solution that works. Our goal is to bring a personal touch back to finance and by lending from our own business funds, we’re doing just that.

More than a broker

With access to our own money, we can say ‘yes’ when others can’t.

Funding with a human touch

Offering funding that fits your unique story.

why choose us

  • Own-funded flexibility

Invoice finance allows businesses to borrow against money owed by customers, helping to improve cash flow and reduce the wait for invoice payments.

PCP

Finance a vehicle with lower monthly payments and greater flexibility at the end of your agreement.

With PCP, a future value is agreed at the start of the application. At the end of the term, you may have options to return the vehicle, purchase it or move on to another, subject to the terms of your agreement.

Tax Liability Finance

Spread the cost of your business tax liabilities and reduce the immediate impact on your cash flow.

Tax liability finance can help businesses manage payments such as corporation tax by spreading the cost over an arranged period.

VAT Deferrals

Manage large VAT payments by spreading the cost over time.

VAT finance can help businesses spread VAT liabilities over a period, helping to protect working capital and support cash flow.

Spread the burden of VAT payments due by deferring payments over 6 or 12 months.
