I would say ask your trade friends who use the big finance houses to put a word in for you with their reps. Then contact the reps yourself.When a rep comes to see you,it is then up to you to present your business in as good a light as possible.They will want to see well presented sensible stock and you could also show them the business you have previously done with brokers.They may also want to see your trading accounts,it may be a bit like Dragens Den these days,I am not sure. However,if you can get a good finance house on board and you start doing quality business (not sub prime stuff) ,it will not be long before the others will want your business.....Good Luck.

RH Trading 80 Posted April 3, 2018 Agree with all of the above, make sure you're aware of your commitments to them as well, don't jump in bed with the first company who makes you an offer, or sign up for a long term commitment. There are plenty of finance houses out there, we've used 5-6 in the past, and still use Close and Santandar you've just got to pick the one you think works best for you, helps support your business as well as offering decent commissions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattR 177 Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Okay Dokay how much did it cost you to get your licence? Many hoops to jump through? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark101 536 Posted April 3, 2018 Is this yet another thing that has changed since I last offered finance - I am sure I applied for a CCL online and it came through straight away in 2003/4. I used to self finance my cheapies on the basis that the odd bad deal wouldn't break me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used a company to take care of it for us, cost £500 but well Worth it, we got approval in 1 week and they took care of everything. If you need any help drop me a PM I’ll put you in touch with them. Thanks for all of the replies guys, will get phoning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tadams 29 Posted April 4, 2018 I believe Zuto have finally listened to the masses and now offer varied comms on different lends amounts, quite appealing payments to form what I've seen, if you do enough with them you go on the stock search too so you get pre approved customers back for free.

SC Derby 259 Posted April 5, 2018 I’ve never had a bad word to say about Close - not one drama throughou the years and still quick. We sent new deal through today at 4.20pm and customer was driving off before 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
