Why use a broker?
Why should your business work with a broker?
The plain old simple question is asked time and time again; why should I use a broker to find my business funding? The answer isn’t as complex as you might think.
Let’s face it you are a busy business owner. Your business has just muddled through a global pandemic! Now you are ready to expand. You would like to spend more time with your family enjoying yourself, and less time searching on google for the best rate of interest. The last thing you want to be doing is filling out form after form of the same information only to be told at the end that you aren’t eligible for the shiny rate you were shown on the first page of the website.
This is where we step in. We provide immediate value. Using a broker eliminates time. We learn a little more about your business and then make suggestions on what sort of funding product you need. A standard business loan doesn’t suit every business. If you are a retailer or restaurant that uses a card machine, a Merchant Cash Advance might be better, whereas if you are a graphic designer or an electrician Invoice Finance might suit. The advantage we have in abundance is our knowledge.
“A broker has the market knowledge to find you the right lender and the right products for your business needs” – Dan Bull
