Why Use A Business Finance Broker

Why smart SMEs don't go to their bank first

69% of UK SME lending — £38 billion — is arranged through brokers. Here's why.
One application, 50+ lenders
Instead of approaching banks one by one, we submit your profile to our panel of 50+ FCA-authorised lenders simultaneously.
Rates you can't access direct
Brokers negotiate volume-based pricing that individual businesses can't get on their own. Our clients typically save 0.5-2% compared to going direct.
From 4 weeks to 48hrs
Banks take 4-8 weeks. We match, compare, and secure funding in as little as 48 hours. Our specialists know exactly which lenders fit your profile — no wasted applications.
100%  FREE service 
Our service is free to you. Lenders pay us a commission when we introduce a successful client. There are no hidden fees, no obligations, and no impact on your credit score.

Industry Expertise

Built for businesses like yours

  • £400K+ funded for a single Manchester agency last quarter

Construction & Trades

The challenge

Large upfront material costs and equipment needs before project payments

Our solution

Asset finance + invoice finance = uninterrupted cash flow
  • £400K+ funded for a single Manchester agency last quarter

Professional Services

The challenge

You've delivered the work, but clients take 60-90 days to settle invoices while your overheads, salaries, and operating costs run monthly.

Our solution

Draw down working capital against completed projects or secure a facility that flexes with your pipeline.
  • £180K business loan approved in 5 days for a London consultancy expanding into a second office.

Accountancy Partners

The challenge

Your clients ask you about funding options, but advising outside your core expertise risks your reputation. Referring to the wrong provider means a bad experience lands on your desk.

Our solution

Guavas gives you a white-glove referral partner. We handle the full process, keep you informed at every stage, and your client gets funding without you lifting a finger.
You earn commission on every funded deal.
  • A practice with 50 SME clients typically identifies 8-12 funding opportunities per year. At our average deal size, that's £10K-£18K in annual commission — for introductions you'd make anyway.

Client Stories

Don't take our word for it

"Needed to free up some capital quickly and Guavas came through. We were looking for invoice finance but honestly found the market a bit of a minefield. Chris made it simple; he understood what we needed and came back with suitable options fast. No messing about, just got us hooked up with the right lender."

"After a quick chat with Guavas, it was clear they knew their stuff. They understood what we were looking for and, more importantly, what we weren't. Within about a week, they presented us with two or three solid options from lenders I hadn't even heard of, let alone considered. The one we went with delivered exactly what we needed: quick access to funds without complicating our invoicing process."
