Our Process
How Business Finance Introductions Work
Getting started is straightforward. You can also explore our finance categories before submitting an enquiry.
02Requirement Review
We review your request
We review the information you provide against commercial lending criteria across our 11 business finance categories to identify viable funding routes, including working capital or asset facilities.
03Lender Introduction
We make an introduction
Where appropriate, we facilitate an introduction to a relevant commercial lender. See our case studies for real-world transaction examples, or read our introducer disclosure.
04Direct Assessment
The provider assesses your application
The finance provider carries out its own assessment and decides whether it can offer finance. Lenders independently determine pricing, terms, and security as explained in our regulatory information.
05Your Decision
You decide whether to proceed
If a provider makes an offer, you can consider the terms and decide whether to proceed. There is never any obligation to accept. You can also contact our team anytime with questions.

Process Questions
Frequently asked about our process
If we review your enquiry and do not consider it appropriate to make an introduction — because the requirement falls outside provider appetite or the business does not meet the criteria we are aware of — we will tell you clearly. We do not pass enquiries to providers speculatively. You can explore our finance solutions hub to see criteria across all categories.
There is no charge for submitting an enquiry. Our fee and commission arrangements are confirmed in writing before any introduction is made and before any information is passed to a provider under our introducer disclosure. There is no obligation to proceed at any stage.
The initial review is completed promptly, typically within 24 business hours. Unsecured lending and invoice finance can fund within 2 to 5 days, while commercial mortgages involving valuations take longer. Review real timeline examples in our case studies.
No. BusinessLending.uk is strictly a commercial finance introducer, not a lender. All credit assessments, facility limits, pricing, and security terms are determined independently by relevant third-party finance providers under our regulatory disclosure.
Yes. Having your latest statutory accounts, management accounts, and recent bank statements ready ensures a much faster introduction. You can consult our commercial loan preparation guide or submit an enquiry directly.
