Questions we get asked

Before you pick up the phone

How we get paid

Lenders usually pay us a commission when your deal completes. We tell you how we're paid before you commit. Read how it works.

Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?

No. Our eligibility check doesn't involve a credit search. When you choose to apply, some lenders run a soft search first. We'll always tell you before anything shows on your file.

How fast can I get the money?

Asset refinance and smaller unsecured loans can pay out within days of a full application. Larger or GGS-backed deals usually take one to three weeks, mostly for the lender's checks. We'll give you a realistic timeline on the first call.

What documents will I need?

Usually your last six months of business bank statements, your latest filed accounts and ID for the directors. For asset finance, add the supplier's quote or invoice.

Do I need to be a homeowner?

No. Being a homeowner can widen your options for larger unsecured loans, but plenty of lenders don't require it. Asset finance is secured on the asset itself.

Can new businesses apply?

Yes, though options are narrower under two years' trading. Asset finance with a deposit is often the easiest route for younger companies.

Do you work with sole traders and partnerships?

Yes. We work with limited companies, LLPs, sole traders and partnerships. For sole traders and partnerships of two or three partners, we arrange business finance over £25,000.

Talk to the person doing your deal
