Loan broker or bank

Loan broker or bank: which route fits your business?

A bank offers its own products on its own terms. A broker is not the lender. We help you understand your financing situation before you decide where and how to approach banks, financiers or capital providers.

Choosing a route

Go to the bank directly, or use a broker?

Neither route suits every business. The right one depends on how clear the requirement is and what is already in place.

01 / Bank directly

When it is straightforward

The requirement is clear, the accounts are in order and you already bank with the institution.

02 / Broker

When it is not

The situation is complex, existing facilities limit the options, or a bank has already declined.

03 / Either way

Prepare the same things

Your requirement and its timing, existing facilities and obligations, and the supporting documents.

In plain English

What does a loan broker do?

A loan broker helps a business work out its financing situation and approach banks or financiers. The broker does not lend and does not decide approval. The bank or financier does.
