Why Sorbus Finance?

Finance starts with a conversation. Before we look at a lender, we look at the business: what you need, what you can afford, and what the finance actually needs to do.

Who we are

A brokerage, not a lender.

Based in Chesterfield. Working with businesses across the UK.

Sorbus Finance helps businesses find commercial finance for the things that keep them moving: equipment, vehicles, property, working capital and growth plans. We introduce clients to finance providers; we do not lend money ourselves. Our role is to understand the requirement and help you make sense of the available routes.

Why businesses use us

There is more to a deal than a rate.

01

A person who listens first

We start with the purpose of the funding, your circumstances and your timescale, rather than pushing a product into a form.

02

Options beyond one bank

Our extensive panel of 150+ lenders lets us consider different appetites and structures. Access to a panel does not mean every lender or product will suit every business.

03

A clearer decision

We help you understand the implications of term, deposit, repayments and any fees, so you can decide what is appropriate for your business.
