Why use a commercial finance broker?

Fair question. This is why:

As an experienced and award-winning finance specialist, we don’t like the word broker. We add far more than simply picking a product. We can identify the most appropriate lenders and consider factors lenders don’t tell you about.

We customise the application to fit each lender’s specific criteria and parameters. This ensures your application looks exceptional. It stands out as something the lender wants to do.

You have our experience to call upon. We help you get the very best solution for you. We also chase everyone to move things forward quickly.

Lenders react positively to applications via an experienced and knowledgeable broker such as ourselves. Lenders recognise that we offer the most suitable information. We present it in the most appropriate format and deliver it in one complete package. This approach makes the lenders’ life easier by smoothing the transaction. Lenders value brokers as a filter. This means the cases they receive from us have a high rate of completion. These cases also match the business they want to do.

Our extensive panel of lenders gives you more options, more choice and access to lenders who often don’t work direct. Our panel includes high street banks, bespoke lenders, specialist property lenders, merchant banks, private banks, private funds and family trusts. Challenging scenario? We can place applications that many lenders decline. These include applications with CCJ’s or arrears. We also deal with those with a squeaky clean profile. Lenders accept challenging cases from us because we tell the whole story and structure the deal so they feel comfortable.

We are specialists in Development Finance, Bridging Finance and Commercial Mortgages. This includes First Time Developers, Deferred Consideration Builds, and Joint Ventures. It also covers Bridging Finance and Developer Exit Loans. Furthermore, we offer Commercial Investment Mortgages and Commercial Owner Occupier Mortgages. Finally, we provide Government Scheme Borrowing.
