How we handle your case
A named case handler takes your enquiry, checks it against the panel and stays with it until the money lands. No handovers between departments, and no queue.
- No fee to you. If a deal completes the lender pays us a commission, and we tell you the amount on request.
- Nothing goes to a lender until you have seen it and said yes. We never hold client money.
- Our credit broking is overseen by White Rose Finance Group Limited, our FCA-authorised principal.
- If we cannot help, we say so on the first call.
How it works
Step 1
Tell us what you need
Two minutes on the form, or a call. What the money is for, roughly how much, and how you trade.
Around half of smaller UK businesses use external finance. You are in good company.

Step 2
We check the criteria
Your figures against the panel before anything is sent. Only lenders whose criteria you fit ever see your case.
Roughly two in five bank loan applications are declined. Matching criteria first is how we keep you out of that number.

Step 3
You compare the offers
Cost, term and the personal guarantee, side by side, explained by a named case handler. No advice. Your decision.
Six in ten pounds of SME bank lending now come from challenger and specialist banks, not the high street.

Step 4
Funds land
Often within days for unsecured products, weeks where a property needs valuing. We stay on it until the money is in.
About 96% of asset finance applications succeed. Where the security is clear, lenders move quickly.
