Our principles

Three rules we run the lender by.

Everything we do comes back to these. They are how we decide which deals to take, which products to offer and which corners we will not cut.

Principle 01

Direct, every time

Every loan on our books is ours. We do not introduce, we do not white-label and we do not pass your application to a panel. The person on the phone has the authority to say yes.

Principle 02

Decisions, in hours

Most underwriting calls are made the same working day. We tell you what we need at the start so we are not chasing documents to delay an answer we already have.

Principle 03

The rate is the rate

What we quote is what you pay. No introducer fees, no arrangement spreads added on top, no surprise mark-ups at signing. Settle early and we rebate 10% of remaining interest.

The difference

Why business owners pick a direct lender.

The high street has spent two decades adding people between you and your money. We took them all out.

How we operate

End-to-end, in-house, in the UK.

Four working hours from application to indicative offer is unusual for a reason: every step is run by people in our building, on our payroll.

1

Application

30 seconds online. Loan amount, term and a couple of business details. No live credit check yet.

Same minute
2

Adviser call

A UK adviser calls back to talk through the purpose, the security and your preferred structure.

Within 30 min
3

Underwriting

Our in-house team reviews the application. Decisions are signed off by a named underwriter, not a panel.

Same day
4

Drawdown

Sign your documents and we'll send the funds across. Most loans drawn within 24 hours of offer.

Next day
The legal bit

Our loans, plainly explained.

Nationwide Finance Ltd is a UK limited company registered in England and Wales (Co. No. 12199793). We are owned by Moneycore Asset Management Limited. We lend only to UK limited companies for business purposes. We can only lend to limited companies so you will need to have set up and registered your company before we can finalise any advance.

The team

Lot's of people. One Team.

Every loan you take with us is approved, funded and serviced by these people.
