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. Please feel free to call us on the numbers provided for a friendly and confidential chat.
