The firm's continued active status through this period reflects operational stability.

Where the product is FCA-regulated, verify the broker's authorisation on the Financial Services Register.

What Business Finance Brokers Do

The broker's role is to structure the funding request and place it with lenders likely to approve it. Lending to limited companies sits largely outside FCA consumer credit regulation, so familiar consumer protections often do not apply.

Post-decline placement is a recognised specialism: alternative lenders frequently accept cases high-street banks decline.

How to Choose the Right Business Finance Broker

Ask which lenders the firm placed similar deals with recently and what terms were achieved. Get the fee schedule in writing before application, including what happens if the deal aborts.

Arrangement fees in the market typically run one to two percent of the facility, payable on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of business finance can a broker arrange?
Fee models vary: lender commission only, client arrangement fees around one to two percent, or both. Whatever the model, written disclosure before application is the professional standard.
How are business finance brokers paid?
Frequently: the market beyond the high street accepts many declined cases. The value is knowing which alternative lenders' criteria your circumstances actually fit.
Can a business finance broker help if my bank has declined my application?
It depends on product: invoice finance in roughly five to ten working days, asset finance one to two weeks, commercial loans and property finance commonly four to eight weeks depending on valuation and legals.
How long does it take to arrange business finance through a broker?
From working capital to property: invoice and asset finance, commercial mortgages, bridging and development finance, term lending, revolving credit and merchant cash advance are the staples.
What information does a business finance broker need?
It depends where you apply: a year's trading history and demonstrable revenue satisfies most mainstream criteria, and the specialist market exists precisely for cases outside that.
