A plain-English explanation of Sorbus Finance’s role as a commercial finance broker and the funding categories it can help businesses explore.
Short answer
Sorbus Finance is a commercial finance broker. It discusses a business’s funding requirement, provides information about potential finance routes and can introduce the business to lenders on its panel. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender, and does not give personal advice or recommendations.
What kinds of funding can Sorbus help explore?
The appropriate route depends on what the business needs to fund, its circumstances and the lender’s criteria. Sorbus arranges introductions across several commercial finance categories rather than lending from its own balance sheet.
- Asset finance for business equipment and other assets
- Business loans and working-capital funding
- Vehicle, fleet and specialist asset finance
- Invoice finance and property finance
- Refinance and business acquisition funding
What the broker does in practice
A broker can help clarify the amount, purpose and timing of a funding request, consider how different structures may work and prepare information for a lender approach. Sorbus may ask questions to narrow down lenders on its panel that could be relevant, but the customer makes their own decision.
A lender—not Sorbus—assesses an application, decides whether to offer finance and sets its terms. An introduction or application does not guarantee approval.
