Reading a real offer? Our guide to reviewing a business loan offer puts these terms in context, or you can make one enquiry and talk it through with a person.

Find out what might fit your business
Tell us the amount, what it is for and a little about your trading history. There is no credit check when you first enquire, one lending partner looks at it properly, and a person calls you back rather than a stream of sales calls.
- No credit check to enquire. Asking a question about your options leaves no mark on your credit file. A credit check only happens later, if you decide to apply.
- One enquiry, not a lead auction. Your details are not sprayed across a list of lenders. One lending partner looks at your situation properly.
- A real person reads it. A person who works with business finance every day reviews your enquiry and calls you. Accurate answers help them get it right first time.
