For decades, commercial finance meant one thing: a high street bank, a stack of paperwork, and a wait that could stretch to six weeks — only to receive a rejection letter generated by an algorithm that had never looked at how your business actually trades.
That model is broken. Not because banks are incompetent, but because it was never designed for the realities of running a modern limited company. It was designed for a world where businesses had hard assets to pledge, spotless credit histories to present, and months to wait for a decision. Most UK Ltd directors don't have any of those things — and shouldn't need them to access working capital.
Alternative commercial finance has stepped into that gap. Challenger lenders, specialist asset finance providers, invoice finance platforms — a whole ecosystem of lenders who underwrite against real trading data, not historical credit files.
The problem isn't that this funding doesn't exist. The problem is finding the right provider, without spending weeks on comparison sites, fielding calls from six different brokers, and wondering who's got your data.
That's the problem Funding Release was built to solve.
Funding Release is a commercial finance introduction service. We work exclusively with UK registered Limited Companies seeking between £25,000 and £2,000,000 in commercial finance.
When you complete our 2-minute eligibility check, we review your requirements and connect you with a single, hand-selected finance partner from our network — one that's matched to your business type, funding amount, and purpose.
One introduction. One partner. No comparison site noise, no data sold to multiple brokers, no inbox full of calls from lenders you've never heard of.
Your finance partner contacts you directly to discuss your options. You're under no obligation to proceed.
Most funding comparison sites work by sending your details to as many lenders as possible, as fast as possible. That's how they make money — and it's why your phone rings five times in the first hour after you submit a form, and why you spend the next week fielding calls from brokers you didn't choose and can't remember agreeing to hear from.
We operate differently. When you complete our eligibility check, your details go to one partner only. One call. One conversation. No inbox full of strangers competing for your business. That partner knows they're the only one speaking to you, which means they have genuine motivation to find you the right deal rather than just close a quick sale.
Funding Release is built exclusively for UK registered Limited Companies and LLPs seeking £25,000 or more in commercial finance — looking for working capital, asset finance, or invoice liquidity — who want a single, straightforward introduction rather than a comparison site experience.
If you've been turned down by a high street bank, or simply don't want to go through that process, we exist for exactly that reason.
If you're a sole trader or unincorporated partnership, we're not able to help — our eligibility criteria exist for regulatory reasons, not arbitrary ones.
Funding Release is an independent commercial finance introduction service built exclusively for UK registered Limited Companies. We're not a bank, a lender, or a comparison site. We exist to give Ltd directors a faster, simpler route to the right finance partner — without the paperwork, the wait, or the data free-for-all that comes with most funding platforms.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), registration reference ZC180272. Funding Release is a credit broker, not a lender.
2-minute check. No impact on your credit score. No obligation.
