To begin with All Star Funding Solutions are a Commercial Finance Broker in Manchester. As a middle-man between those that need finance and those that offer it. A commercial finance broker helps businesses that are looking to raise finance the right loan to suit their needs.
If you’re looking to raise finance for your business, it can be confusing and hard to know what is the best route for you.
Taking any finance option is a big decision so it stands to reason it is something that you want to get right.
Why Use A Finance Broker?
Whether you’re looking for a business or personal loan, there are going to be lots of options out there. With many different repayments terms, it can be hard to know who is offering you the best option.
We all have different needs from our finance options, so it stands to reason you’re going to want to choose the option that suits your circumstances best.
Finance brokers are experts in their field, which means that they’re in an excellent position to give you advice on the options available to you and what would suit you best.
When it comes to looking for business finance, there are many different lenders out there which means that the business finance space is a little crowded.
As someone who is looking to raise finance, it can be easy to assume that this is a good thing because you have more choice. Whilst more choices is often a good thing, it also makes choosing the right option for you a little more confusing.
Choosing The Right Broker
You may find that different brokers have specialised areas of lending, so do a little research and find one that suits what you’re looking for. Check that they’re able to help and are up to date with special products.
There are two types of Commercial Finance brokers 1) regulated and 2) unregulated.
The difference is that the unregulated brokers can only provide advice to Limited companies, whereas regulated brokers can assist both personal and business. As regulated brokers have access to personal lenders they may have an increased number of lenders on their panel.
Regulated brokers are monitored by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) . This means you can feel assured that they will act in a certain way. There is a FCA register which is available to the public to check the status of a broker. Alternatively you could even ask for the FCA registration number from your broker to check in advance.
Once you are happy with your chosen broker the best thing you can do is talk to them about your needs and what they can offer. As brokers are experienced in the world of business finance they’re in an excellent position to talk you through what they’re able to offer and how that could suit you. Of course, any business finance decision is ultimately yours so don’t feel pressured, but getting a point in the right direction and some help at every stage along the way is definitely a good thing.
