Our Unique & Supportive Approach for Clients

As commercial finance brokers, Balance for Business Limited is a member of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers who are authorised & regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Whilst we are not a principal lender, we source funds for our clients from an extensive panel of banks and other financial institutions to ensure you get the most appropriate deal.

If you are running a business that already borrows money for property deals, cashflow finance or any number of other funding projects, we will be able to help you.

Whilst you of course want to borrow at competitive rates, you also want a funder that is keen to help and willing to lend where appropriate. Sadly for many in these challenging times, it feels as if customer care is being lost/service levels have dropped & lenders being keener to get money back than to lend more to support growth.

As a result many are finding it increasingly difficult to properly fund their requirements and certainly finding it hard to finance any growth plans.

Many are also anxious of approaching their banks/funders directly, through fear of a negative reaction, especially with the current economic situation in the UK economy.

Over the past few years the ways in which funders operate has changed dramatically, with many new funders, new products & innovative funding solutions becoming readily available.

More recently this has been affected even more and access to funding is now more challenging than ever before.

Take advantage of our unique Funding Appraisal Options, which give you a totally independent review of the options open to you.

We can help you with:

  • Initial research into the independent funding market place and finding the most suitable and competitive options available.

  • Building a proposition to take to our panel of lenders, including supporting documents such as business plans and the financial forecasts etc.

  • Driving through the application and credit approval stages to get as many forms of funding/competitive offers as possible for you to consider.

  • Managing the process from enquiry stage right through to the final draw down of funds.

  • Supporting you along the journey with our team, who will help you to navigate challenges & hurdles along the way.

We look to get our clients “Fit to Borrow” and anticipate exactly what the banks & lenders are looking for, ensuring that when you put in your request for funding, it is “oven ready” for approval and onward completion.

Feedback from our clients

Testimonials

“After speaking to Dave initially and meeting up later we found him professional, experienced and patient, everything was explained in detail, we were allocated a manager that saw us through each step of the transactions step by step, always available at the end of the phone for any questions. We would recommend Dave and his team to others, and look forward to working with Balance for Business in the future.”

Toby Short, Director, Rock City Crew

“The support I received from Balance for Business was second to none. We utilised their services for cash flow funding for business expansion and the information they provided was straight forward and helped us make the right decision for the business. Dave and his team exceeded my expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Sebastian Wood, Founder Director, Nexpay

“The service received from Balance for Business was exceptional and professional from the very first call I made with David Ottley. Their advice was solid and built on their years of expertise in the field.

They acquired information and ensured all was vetted prior to submission, allowing us the best opportunity for a first time presentation to potential funders. I would have no hesitation in recommending Balance for Business, who provide a first class service with great communication with e-mail and phone calls, keeping the customer informed and advised all the way through the process.

Balance for Business sourced funders to allow our business expansion to take effect to help improve our operation and services we provide. I now have an excellent working relationship with all the team at Balance for Business and I’m sure I’ll be in touch again should the need arise.”

Russell Godwin, Managing Director, Grand Prix Express

“Balance for Business helped us with raising a loan to fund growth and to negotiate better Invoice Finance terms to help us manage cashflow. In both cases, they helped us achieve exactly what we needed within a better than expected timeframe

I would recommend them because as above, they exceeded expectation for a very reasonable cost and were very helpful and communicative throughout the process.

It has helped us greatly given that we needed extra funds to invest in a new office and new hires to help facilitate our growth and success. They have also helped us find the most cost effective solution to managing cashflow which has become more challenging as we have grown. The long term cost savings on fees and more efficient processes are a huge benefit

Our relationship with Balance for Business is excellent. Many businesses see you as a number and try to charge or sell you  as much as they can. Balance for Business understood my needs and provided the right advice and help which was not always the most profitable for them. They also keep me informed on what is happening in the industry which is very useful.  I have really appreciated the personal touch and find them a pleasure to to work with.”

Marwan Abdo, Managing Director UK Finance & Ops, Magentys

“Balance for Business have delivered to expectation yet again and have been very thorough and professional throughout the process. Working with them has enabled the business to acquire the right level of funding on competitive terms to aid future cash flow.

We’ve done 3 or 4 deals with Balance for Business now and maintain a great relationship with them. As such, I’d recommend their service because they’re able to source the right deal and help take it through to completion.”

Jim Coventry, Managing Director, Eponymous Properties Limited

“Balance for Business offered and supplied my business with a first class service throughout. Working with Balance has made the whole process much less stressful. Alongside their service, their work ethic and support is brilliant. I get on very well with both Dave Ottley and his Balance for Business team. I would definitely recommend their services for anyone looking for business funding.”
