Independent commercial finance advice for businesses, property owners and professionals across the UK.

Finding the right commercial finance isn’t simply about finding a lender willing to lend. Different lenders have very different appetites for particular sectors, properties, business models and funding requirements.

Fifty Nine Financial is an independent commercial finance broker based in Derby, helping businesses throughout the UK access funding for property, cash flow, expansion, acquisitions and investment.

Whether you know exactly what type of finance you need or simply know what you’re trying to achieve, we’ll help you understand the options and identify lenders suited to your circumstances

Commercial finance solutions

Commercial finance covers a wide range of funding options. The right solution depends on what you’re funding, the financial position of the business, the assets available and how the borrowing will be repaid.

We can help with:

Commercial Mortgages

Finance to purchase or refinance commercial property, including owner-occupied premises and commercial investment property.

Commercial mortgages can be used when buying new premises, refinancing existing borrowing, releasing equity from property or supporting wider business growth.

Business Loans

Business loans can provide funding to cover working capital, stock, expansion, refurbishment, VAT bills and other business requirements.

Depending on the circumstances, funding may be available on an unsecured basis or secured against suitable assets.

We can assess the requirement and consider lenders whose criteria fit the business rather than simply approaching one provider.

Healthcare Finance

Healthcare is a particular specialist area for Fifty Nine Financial.

We arrange funding for dentists, pharmacists, GPs and other healthcare professionals for requirements including business acquisitions, commercial property purchases, refinancing and expansion.

Our experience includes helping first-time buyers acquire healthcare businesses with 100% funding, subject to lender assessment and the strength of the transaction, as well as supporting existing owners with refinancing and growth.

Healthcare lenders can take a very different approach from mainstream commercial lending, making specialist knowledge of lender appetite particularly valuable.

Invoice Finance

Invoice finance can help businesses release cash tied up in unpaid customer invoices rather than waiting for normal payment terms.

Depending on the facility, invoice factoring or invoice discounting may allow a business to access funds against its debtor book while maintaining the working capital needed to operate and grow.

Business Acquisition Finance

Buying an established business often requires more than one source of finance.

Depending on the transaction, acquisition funding can involve term lending, commercial mortgages, invoice finance, asset finance and other funding structures.

We can help assess the business being acquired, the assets available and the proposed transaction to establish how the purchase might be funded.

Bridging Finance

Bridging finance provides short-term funding where speed or flexibility is important.

It can be used for commercial and property transactions including purchases with tight completion deadlines, auction purchases, refurbishment projects and situations where longer-term finance cannot be put in place immediately.

Asset Finance

Asset finance can help businesses purchase vehicles, machinery, equipment and other assets without necessarily paying the entire cost upfront.

Different structures are available depending on the asset and the requirements of the business.

Why use a commercial finance broker?

Commercial lending is very different from simply comparing headline interest rates.

A lender that is competitive for one transaction may have little appetite for another. Sector, turnover, profitability, property type, security, trading history and the purpose of the funding can all affect which lenders are appropriate.

Working with a commercial finance broker can help you:

  • identify the type of finance appropriate for the requirement;
  • understand how different lenders may view the transaction;
  • avoid approaching lenders whose criteria are unlikely to fit;
  • structure and present the application properly;
  • compare available funding options; and
  • manage the application through to completion.

Sometimes the most important part of our job isn’t finding a lender. It’s establishing how the transaction should be funded in the first place.

A business acquisition, for example, might involve a combination of term lending, invoice finance against a debtor book, asset finance against equipment and commercial property lending.

Understanding how those pieces fit together can open funding options that aren’t obvious from approaching a single lender.

Real commercial finance experience

We arrange finance for businesses across a wide range of sectors and funding requirements.

£1.35m invoice finance facility

We arranged a £1.35 million invoice finance facility for a UK construction business seeking additional working capital to support its growth.

The facility allowed the business to access cash tied up in its debtor book rather than waiting for customers to reach their normal payment dates.

£250,000 unsecured business loan

We recently arranged a £250,000 unsecured business loan for an established car dealership requiring additional working capital and funding for stock.

The business had previously been declined elsewhere. After reviewing the case, we identified an alternative lender whose criteria better suited the circumstances and secured approval within 48 hours.

What information do you need?

You don’t need to know which lender or finance product you require before contacting us.

Initially, we simply need to understand:

  • what you’re trying to achieve;
  • approximately how much funding you require;
  • what the business does;
  • how long it has been trading; and
  • some basic information about its financial position.

From there, we can establish what additional information is required and which type of finance may be appropriate.

Depending on the transaction, lenders may subsequently request accounts, management information, business bank statements, details of existing borrowing, property information or other supporting documents.

If your business needs funding, the first step is simply to have a conversation about what you’re trying to achieve.
