Step‑by‑step: What happens after you submit a no‑obligation quick quote
a) Submit a short enquiry form
Our quick enquiry asks for essential information only — the aim is to match you quickly, not to gather every supporting document:
- Company name and registration number
- Contact name, email and phone
- Turnover band and years trading
- Funding required (amount) and purpose (e.g. development finance, plant purchase, green retrofit)
The enquiry is not an application. It’s used to assess which lenders or brokers to introduce. The form takes under 2 minutes to complete. Get Quote Now — 2‑minute form
b) How we match your enquiry to lenders & brokers
We match based on factual criteria so paired partners have a realistic chance of responding positively:
- Sector and project type (construction, development, sustainability)
- Loan type and size (we typically handle requests from £10,000 upwards)
- Security and term required (asset finance, bridging, mortgage, development finance)
- Geographic location and trading history
Matching increases the likelihood of a useful response — we prioritise quality introductions over mass distribution.
c) What lenders and brokers do next
After we introduce your details, matched lenders or brokers will typically:
- Contact you by phone or email to confirm details and ask brief follow‑ups.
- Provide an indicative quote or outline likely terms (interest, fees, term, security) or request limited documents for a more accurate quote.
- Timescales vary: many initial contacts arrive within hours during business hours, most within 48 hours.
d) What “no obligation” means
No obligation means you do not have to accept any quote or pay UK Business Loans to use the service. You remain free to compare offers, ask questions and walk away at any point. Any fees related to a lender’s formal application or legal work will be explained by that lender or broker before you commit.
What information you’ll need (eligibility & common documentation)
The quick quote only needs a few details. If a lender requests more later, common documents include:
- Company name, registration number and address
- Turnover band and recent trading history
- Loan amount required and clear project purpose (e.g. development finance for a 6‑unit scheme)
- Details of any security available (property, plant, equipment)
- Recent management accounts or valuations (often requested for formal applications, not for initial quotes)
You do not need to upload supporting documents to get an initial match — simply provide the core facts. Start your Free Eligibility Check
