At Business Funding Portal our ethos is very simple - to ensure that you get the best possible business finance from dedicated sector specialists. Or in other words, 'you get to deal with someone who knows, not someone who knows someone who knows'. Our own directors have a wealth experience both in providing business finance and in funding their own various enterprises; this has provided not only hands-on knowledge but also numerous valuable contacts which we are happy to share with you. The approach is very much hands-on to understanding and meeting your specific needs - we are not a call centre and we are not governed by an intransigent process - if a site visit will help we will gladly oblige, whereas if speed is of the essence we can transact largely by phone and email.

In response to market conditions, our funding products are sourced from outside the mainstream banking arena, either from private or equity-funded enterprise, or from the growing range of crowd-funded or peer-to-peer lenders. This means that your banking relationship will remain unaffected.

SECTOR SPECIALISTS IN:

Engineering:

Quite simply, we offer the widest possible range of funding solutions to OMB Engineering firms. 

Engineering & manufacturing remain the heart of the UK economy and are our key contributor to the global economy. With our extensive experience of owner managed business and a passion for all things manufacturing, Business Funding Portal are commited to offering the widest range of funding facilities to the UK manufacturing & engineering sector.

Renewables / recycling:

As a modern, forward thinking business it is impossible to ignore the renewables sector. Operating with private lessors and under Carbon Trust initiatives, Business Funding Portal can offer innovative solutions to vendors of PV/Solar, wind turbines, biomass and other renewable technologies.

More traditionally we have significant experience in the recycling and materials sectors.

Professional Introducers:

From the outset, Business Funding Portal was dedicated to handling wide and varied proposals from the professional sector - largely focusing on banks and accountants.

Far from being a competitor, our bank sources see as as an invaluable resource in providing a complete client solution, whereas to accountants we are the conduit to the wider funding market beyond the mainstream.
