The Forma Capital difference

We don't just find you a lender. We find you the right lender, at the right terms, faster than you could do it yourself.

Benefit 01

Whole-of-market means you always get the best deal

Most businesses approach one or two lenders directly and accept whatever terms they're offered. Forma Capital searches 40+ lenders simultaneously — including specialist alternative lenders your bank has never told you about. The result is better rates, higher approval chances, and terms that actually fit your business.

"We'd been declined by three banks before Forma Capital found us a lender who said yes within 24 hours." — Construction client, £320,000 facility
40+
Lenders searched on every enquiry
Benefit 02

One dedicated broker from first call to funded

No call centres. No being passed between departments. No explaining your situation three times to three different people. At Forma Capital, one broker manages your case from the moment you enquire to the moment funds hit your account — and is contactable throughout.

"I had one person I could call and text throughout the whole process. That alone was worth it." — Hospitality client, £95,000 MCA
🤝
Dedicated broker — not a call centre
Benefit 03

Funded in as little as 24 hours — not weeks

Traditional bank lending takes weeks and still often ends in rejection. Our lender panel includes specialists who can approve and fund in as little as 24 hours for the right application. We know which lenders move fast, which products suit your situation, and how to package an application that gets approved first time.

"From enquiry to money in the account — 48 hours. We'd been waiting months with our bank." — Retail client, £75,000 loan
24hr

Who do you work with?+
We work exclusively with UK-registered limited companies and large partnerships (4+ partners or £1m+ annual turnover). We do not work with sole traders, individuals, or small partnerships.
How much can my business borrow?+
We can help with funding from £10,000 up to £2,000,000 and beyond. The amount available depends on your turnover, trading history, the purpose of the funding, and which lenders are most appropriate.
How quickly can we get funded?+
Merchant cash advances and short-term loans can be funded within 24–48 hours. Invoice finance takes 5–10 working days. Asset finance and commercial mortgages take 2–4 weeks. Your broker will give you a realistic timeline at the outset.

In most cases, no. We are remunerated via an introductory fee paid by the lender on completion. On larger or more complex transactions we may charge a small advisory fee — always disclosed clearly before any work begins.
Will applying affect my credit score?+
No. Submitting an enquiry does not affect your credit score. We conduct only a soft search. A hard credit search by the lender at formal application stage will always be flagged to you first.
Are you regulated by the FCA?+
