Gone are the days of walking down the high street and securing a business loan from your local bank manager.

Since the 2008 financial crisis the UK Financial Services industry has endured unprecedented change. While the retail banks were getting their affairs in order, many borrowers turned to Alternative Lenders to refinance out of expensive lending facilities or to fund new growth.

The increasing market share of Alternative Lenders made the sector more attractive to new entrants who brought with them innovation (think FinTechs), using modern technologies. Many of these new entrants operate through more relaxed regulations and flexible lending policies than the banks and can therefore take bigger lending risks, filling a gap left by the banks.

There are now hundreds of Alternative Lenders in the UK. It is impossible for a business leader to build and maintain relationships across such a vast and specialised network of finance providers.

We have the network you need, and we can secure the funding you require.
