Do you have to pay up front?
Funding Finder does not charge any fees to businesses – no up-front costs or finder’s fees. Nor does it offer financial advice. It simply takes a look at your business’s circumstances and requirements, and after suitable checks, filtering and vetting, it may introduce you to potential financial solutions, via its panel of FCA registered partners.
Funding Finder earns a commission from the financier on completion of any deal, once money is released to the applicant, so it makes money from the lender, not the borrower.
Why use Funding Finder?
Time can be a critical factor – a business may need an urgent bridging loan to pay a bill, for example, it might have a temporary cash-flow issue or it might simply not have the time or expertise to trawl through the many loan opportunities out there themselves. Funding Finder, after reviewing the contents of their easy to fill in Enquiry Form and after a call with a potential client, can quickly ascertain whether the funding required is possible and who the best provider is to introduce the client to. Clients can be confident the provider is reputable, FCA registered, have a history of successfully closing deals, and are focused on delivery in a timely manner.
Funding Finder’s network of contacts built up over many years gives access to some unique funding opportunities – it might be a London financier or someone closer to home. Funding Finder only introduces businesses to funding providers that they have dealt with over a number of years. This may mean putting you in contact with funding providers you may not know existed, who are professional at all times, who can provide advice and “out the box” thinking to help your business achieve its goals, and who have a record of delivery.
