I have used comparison sites before and this isn’t quite the same. There is much more help available. I think that this is a really good idea and I hope that it takes off!

Simple to use and effective results
As an accountancy firm we want to proactively help clients grow and an essential part of that support is assistance in raising capital. We were referred to the Alternative Business Funding platform after traditional bank finance routes proved fruitless.
I loaded my clients details onto the platform which was simple to do as we had already prepared the documents for the bank lending applications. We had 4 enquiries within a 48 hour period and we pursued one of them which led to over £500k of loan finance being raised for my client, within a 3 week period. They were delighted and have been able to pursue their expansion plan.
I found the loading of the information straight forward and the response very quick which was refreshing.
I would recommend using Alternative Business Funding to any business wanting to expand or any professional wanting to help their clients grow.

Easy to use site but not helping a new business all because of poor credit rating how are small business ideas supposed to get up and running if there is no help out there and everytime you apply it goes on your credit file its Crap

Tamara was extremely helpful, punctual and specific in her offers and advice. I would like to give five stars, but of course do not yet know how much of a fit the product or company she has referred will prove to be. But I cannot fault her approach, personality and level of understanding

Alternative Business Funding brokered a loan for my business within my requirements. They were patient throughout the process and this helped to build trust. I would use their services again if necessary and recommend them to other small businesses.

They were able to put me together with lenders who really understood and more importantly prepared to lend at reasonable rates. Easy and quick service.
