Introducers

Building business with Introducers

We ensure that viable businesses and social enterprises across the Midlands and adjoining counties can access appropriate loan finance tailored to their specific needs.

To achieve this, we’re proud to work in partnership with finance intermediaries, advisors, brokers and accountants. If your client is seeking access to alternative finance solutions, we’re here to help.

 

Working with ART

We’re a Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) which provides business loans in the Midlands and neighbouring counties.

In a challenging climate, we know that many business owners struggle to find appropriate finance to help fuel their growth. To meet their financial needs – today and in the future – it’s crucial that SMEs consider all possible funding options, including alternative finance solutions.

If your client has received a loan refusal from their bank or other lender, it’s not a financial dead-end. This is where CDFIs, like ART, can provide new routes to funding.

 

How can we help you?

CDFIs are prepared to lend in three key scenarios:

1) when other lenders say ‘no’

2) when other lenders have already lent all they can

3) when they can lend as part of a package alongside other banks or finance providers

We can offer access to:

  • Loans from £10,000 to £150,000, either alone or as part of a package with others
  • Partnership deals above £150,000
  • Lending from six months to seven years, with no penalty for early repayment
  • Referrals to other finance providers for additional funds or wider business support
  • 2% commission for introducers

 

Our broker expertise

Over 95% of our loans are from broker referrals and we have a strong history of helping brokers to best support their clients and secure access to the funds they need.

Our personalised approach is driven by our team of dedicated lending managers, who will review the viability of the business to offer an informed and tailor-made financial solution, helping to ensure that your client can access the right funding support, at the right time.

Funding is a partnership and we’re proud to take a relationship-based approach when supporting businesses – with a deep understanding of the organisation, and the financial support it needs to thrive. We believe this sets us apart from other alternatives, such as online lenders, and provides a bespoke service to benefit both you and your client base.

By working with ART, brokers and their clients can unlock new routes to funding, while benefitting from our specialist expertise and tailored support.”
