Business Loans
Business loans provide a cash injection for operational costs, stock, or cashflow management. We offer competitive rates tailored to your business needs, with borrowing options from 10,000 to 1,000,000. Our flexible terms ensure smooth cashflow while avoiding reliance on overdrafts or credit cards.
Asset Finance
Asset finance covers leasing, hire purchase, and equipment refinance for assets like machinery, technology, or furniture. This secured funding often provides better rates than loans, allowing repayment plans tailored to your business. We support both new and existing assets across all sectors.
Growth Guarantee Scheme
The Growth Guarantee Scheme offers government-backed funding for SMEs, with 70% lender security and capped rates. Borrow 25,000 to 2,000,000 for any legitimate business use, with terms from 2 to 6 years. This scheme enhances lender confidence, making better rates accessible.
Start-Up Finance
Start-up finance helps new businesses acquire inventory, equipment, or fit-out essentials. Borrow 10,000 to 500,000 with terms up to 5 years, offering an alternative to overdrafts or credit cards. Our tailored approach supports early-stage growth and operational stability.
Commercial Bridging Loans
Commercial bridging loans provide short-term capital for development projects or urgent cash needs. These loans bridge gaps until long-term financing is secured, with flexible terms and quick approval processes to support time-sensitive opportunities.

From the moment I called Portman Finance and spoke to Daniel I received fantastic service, he took the time to listen to our business needs and guide me through the options available. He supported us throughout the whole process and the loan was in our bank within a few days. I would highley recommend Portman Finance to any company who are looking to grow their business.

I have dealt with Tom Simpson at Portman twice now. Both times he has been extremely helpful and made sure we got the very best deal available. He clearly and thoroughly explains the various options, and makes complex finance deals easy to understand. I would 100% recommend Portman and Tom to anyone looking for business finance.

Report
We were really struggling to get funding for our new glamping business, and were almost at the point of abandoning the idea. Then we spoke with Kyle Ellis at Portman who has managed to secure a large portion of our finance. Kyle has a confident, 'can-do' attitude, and his communication is excellent. We're hoping to expand in a couple of years (all going well), so we'll be calling Portman again to help with that. I would recommend anyone who needs funding for their business, give Kyle a call

This is the second time we've used Portman and the experience has been every bit as good as before. Daniel Bingle took the time to really understand our refinancing requirements, stayed on top of the whole process and delivered it from start to finish in just over a week. And to top it all we ended up with more money than we expected with a lower monthly payment than we'd assumed! Highly recommended.
