I started CapExpand after seeing too many business owners get pushed into funding products that didn't fit. Some were sold things they didn't need. Others were left waiting with no real guidance on what was happening.
I wanted to build something different - an introducer where someone actually looks at your details, walks you through what's available, and tells you straight if we can't help. No scripts, no automated emails, no passing you around between departments.
When you get in touch with CapExpand, I personally look at your application. I'll introduce you to lenders that may suit your situation, outline the costs, and explain how long it'll take. If I don't think we can help, I'll say so.
We've helped over 1,000 UK businesses access more than £20M in funding. I'm still hands-on with every case. That's how I think it should work.
How we work
We start by understanding your business properly - trading history, monthly turnover, urgency, and what repayment structure you can realistically manage.
Then we introduce you to lenders from our panel that may be suitable, and outline the details in plain language, including cost and timeline.
You get straightforward updates throughout. If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you. Long-term trust matters more than a quick deal.
Small by design
CapExpand is deliberately lean. I handle every application personally because that's how you get the best outcome - someone who actually knows your case speaking to lenders on your behalf.
Bigger brokers pass your details to whoever's free. Here, you get one person from start to finish. That means fewer cases, but better results for the businesses we do work with.
