How we make money

One income, one rule. We may be paid when you ask to be introduced to a broker; nobody can pay to change the comparison tables. Here is exactly what that means, what may change, and what never will.

Today

Businesses Funding is published by Domain Farm Ltd. If you use the Find a lender form and agree to be introduced, Domain Farm Ltd passes your details to a UK business finance broker and may be paid a fee by that broker for the introduction. That is the only income described on this site. It costs you nothing to use the form, and the broker, not the reader, pays the fee.

The site does not sell advertising, publish sponsored content or use affiliate links in the tables. Links to lenders go to the lender’s own published page, not through a tracking or referral link. The calculators run in your browser and send nothing anywhere.

What lenders cannot buy

The comparison tables, rates and calculators are not affected by the introduction fee. Lenders cannot pay to be listed, moved or reworded in the tables. A lender is in a table because it publishes figures we can read, not because anyone pays us, and is never excluded because it does not. No lender sees copy before it is published, and the figures stay exactly as the lender states them, with the source and date.

We are not a broker or a lender

We do not take applications ourselves, arrange finance, or give advice. The broker does the searching and is responsible for its own advice, charges and terms, so ask it how it is paid before you agree to anything. The consent box on the form names the broker, or says “a UK business finance broker we work with” where we do not name it. Today that wording reads: “I agree that Domain Farm Ltd (publisher of Businesses Funding) will pass these details to a UK business finance broker we work with, who will contact me about finance. Domain Farm Ltd is paid by the broker for introductions.”

The conflict, and how we handle it

Because we may be paid when people ask for an introduction, we have a reason to want you to use it. That is why every page that offers it says so, why the tables are built the same way for everyone, and why the introduction is never presented as the only way forward: every lender card links to the lender’s own page, where you can apply directly.

What may change

We may, in time, earn money in other ways, such as advertising or sponsored content. Each would be disclosed on the page where it applies, on the day it starts, and this page would change the same day. A paid link would be labelled as one.

What never changes

Inclusion and order. Nobody can pay to be in a table, higher in it, or described differently.
Wording. What we say about a lender comes from its published terms and our methodology.
The figures. They stay exactly as the lender states them, with the source and date.
Your data. We do not sell leads, contact details or browsing data to anyone. If you ask for an introduction, your request goes, with your consent, to one broker. See the privacy notice.

Who decides

The editor, Sam Allcock, is responsible for what is published and for keeping this page accurate. Where editorial and commercial interests are ever in doubt, the editorial decision wins.

Why we publish this

Comparison sites are, mostly, paid by someone with an interest in the result. That is not wrong in itself, but you should be able to see it. This page is how we make sure you can.
