Questions
Commercial finance FAQs
What does a commercial finance broker do?
A commercial finance broker finds and arranges funding for businesses. We assess what you need, prepare your application and approach the lenders most likely to approve it on good terms, then manage the process to completion.
Do you charge a fee?
The first conversation is free. If a fee applies to your deal, we will tell you the amount in writing before you commit. We may also receive commission from the lender, which we disclose.
How long does a commercial mortgage take?
Timescales depend on the lender, the valuation and the legal work. A straightforward commercial mortgage often completes in 6 to 12 weeks. Bridging finance can be faster.
Can you help importers with trade finance?
Yes. We arrange letters of credit, documentary collections, import loans and stock finance for UK importers and exporters.
Do you only work with businesses in Leicester?
We are based in Leicester and work with businesses across the East Midlands and the rest of the UK.
