How we compare
An honest look at your alternatives
There are three common ways to find commercial finance. Each has genuine strengths — here's where we think we do better, and where the others are fine.
| Findnance | Typical comparison site | Direct to one lender | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Questions before you see numbers | The minimum — usually under two minutes | Long forms, often 20–30 fields | Frequently a full application first |
| Options considered | Your broker's whole panel, once you're referred | Listings, often shaped by commercial arrangements | One lender's products only |
| Who you deal with | One finance specialist, when you choose | Whoever receives the lead — sometimes several callers | That lender's sales team |
| Pressure | None — your numbers wait while you decide | Follow-up calls are common | Their pipeline, their pace |
| First number you see | A calculator you control — you set the rate | Headline rates that may not match your profile | Accurate — but only one lender's answer |
Where the alternatives make sense
We won't pretend the alternatives are useless. Comparison sites can be a reasonable starting point for research, and if you already bank with a lender you trust and know their product suits you, going direct can be perfectly sensible.
Our case is simply this: you shouldn't have to hand over your phone number to see what finance roughly costs, and you shouldn't be limited to one lender's view of your business. We ask the minimum, give you a calculator to work the numbers yourself, and put a single licensed broker — not a call queue — between you and the paperwork.
No pressure, by design
Your indicative options don't expire the moment you close the tab, and nobody rings you unless you ask them to. When you're ready, you tap Get It Sorted — see how it works for the full journey.
