What this site is for

Choosing business finance is often a decision made in a hurry, on the strength of a headline rate. Businesses Funding exists to make it better informed. We read each lender’s own page, record every amount, term, rate and fee with the page it came from and the date we read it, and lay the lenders side by side so you can compare them on the facts.

We cover seven types of finance: business loans, asset finance, invoice finance, merchant cash advance, commercial mortgages and bridging and development finance and business credit cards, with guides and four calculators.

How we work

  • Primary sources only. Every figure comes from the lender’s own page, never from another comparison site, a press article or memory.
  • Dated, not just sourced. Each figure shows when we last read it. Rates change; you deserve to know how fresh ours are.
  • “Not published” is an answer. Where a lender does not publish a number, we say so rather than estimate.
  • No ranking by who pays. We do not rank lenders, and no lender can pay to be listed, moved or reworded. See how we make money.
  • Plain English. Written for the owner of a business.

The full rules are in our editorial standards and the methodology.

Who is behind it

Businesses Funding is edited by Sam Allcock, a British entrepreneur who has been a business owner since 2007. He founded and sold the SEO agency Custard (2007-2018) and the press-release service PR Fire (2008-2024), and today runs Domain Farm Ltd, Ascribed and Digital24. He is the author of How to Sell Digital Assets (2025).

What he is not. Sam is not a financial adviser, accountant or FCA-authorised person, and Businesses Funding does not give advice to individuals. Where a topic needs regulated expertise, we say so and point you to it.

Publisher

Businesses Funding is published by Domain Farm Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, number 13544286. Registered office: Vantage House, Euxton Lane, Euxton, Chorley, Lancashire PR7 6TB, United Kingdom.

Domain Farm Ltd builds and runs specialist reference publications. It is not a lender, a broker or an FCA-authorised firm, and it has no ownership ties to any lender on this site.

How the site is funded

By Domain Farm Ltd. If you ask to be introduced to a broker through Find a lender, Domain Farm Ltd passes your details to the broker, with your consent, and may be paid a fee by that broker. The site sells no advertising and no lender can pay to be listed, moved or reworded. Details, and what would be disclosed if that changed, are on how we make money.

What this site is not

It is not a broker and not a lender: we do not take applications, arrange finance or give advice. We do offer one service that touches your details, the Find a lender introduction, and we say plainly on that page that we are paid by the broker and who receives your request. The comparison tables are kept separate from it, and we will not blur the two.
