Credit Broking
Regulated Broker, Unregulated Lending
While we are FCA authorised as a credit broker, it's important to understand how regulation applies to business lending.
Why are most business loans unregulated?
In the UK, borrowing by limited companies is classified as unregulated lending. This means that while we as your broker are fully regulated by the FCA, the loan agreements themselves typically fall outside FCA regulation. This is standard across the industry for commercial finance.
What does this mean for you?
- As an FCA-authorised broker, we are held to the highest standards of conduct, transparency, and fair treatment — regardless of whether the loan itself is regulated
- We guide you through the entire borrowing process, ensuring you understand every aspect of the funding before you commit
- We disclose all fees and commissions upfront so there are no surprises
- Our role is to act in your best interests, matching you with the most suitable lender for your business needs
Having an FCA-regulated broker on your side means you benefit from professional oversight and accountability, even when the lending itself is unregulated. We're here to protect your interests throughout the process.
