THE ACORN OF POTENTIAL

Every business loan is an acorn of potential for an ambitious business. Capital enables growth, and growth drives success.

But it shouldn’t feel like moving a mountain to secure the funding your business needs. As a highly experienced (FCA-certified) finance brokerage, we provide bespoke finance to meet the needs of each individual client.

We’re not a bank and we don’t behave like one. We’re flexible, fast and friendly –  with a wealth of experience and expertise.

CLIENT-FOCUSED. VALUE-DRIVEN

Acorn is independently owned. We offer a precise, personal service tailored to your business needs; not ‘one-loan-fits-all’. Our team has over 50 years’ experience in providing the correct finance to our long standing customers. We’re proud to be market leaders for the legal, accountancy and insurance broking sectors. We have a handpicked panel of lenders who provide Acorn top quality service, with some giving us access to unsecured products not available to other brokers.

Our asset finance knowledge & funding partners enable us to put together deals & credit lines that give our clients the confidence to grow their business without being over exposed to their bank.

We’re one of the first green business finance brokers too; we’re proud that our offices are paper-free and planet-friendly. We put money where our mouth is too – 3% of our annual profit goes into our Green Acorn Fund. 

“We really understand our clients’ businesses and care about building long-term relationships.”

Stuart Gibson, Managing Director

Client testimonials

Nicki was very helpful and kept us up to date with everything - even when she had time off she made sure we were updated. Whenever there was a query she got to it quickly and helped us understand the issue so we could answer and solve it straight away. It became a very simple process so we could focus on our business.
Very helpful and kept up to date with everything
Stuart was quick to understand our requirements and was able to recommend a cost-effective solution. The process was professional and efficient from start to finish. Each stage was explained thoroughly and our documents checked by the team, so we could get things right first time - we would not hesitate to go back to Acorn Business Finance for any future requirements.
A really positive experience
5 stars from start to finish. Stuart and his team were fantastic!
5 stars from start to finish
Stuart at Acorn was superb. Understood our fully requirements, engaged with us pro-actively throughout. Could not have been more helpful. Organised all the funding requirements we needed at excellent rates. Could not recommend enough.
Engaged with us pro-actively throughout
All the team have been extremely helpful and kept me in the loop with progress reports as we have gone along. I would definitely recommend Stuart and Cathy for their helpful attitude, nothing has been too much trouble during a time that has been stressful for our business.
Taken the stress away
Amazingly quick to get the deal done from start to finish, and to get the money into the bank. A breath of fresh air and the wonder why everyone else can't work like this. Thoroughly recommended.
Amazingly quick
I have dealt with Stuart and his team at Acorn Finance for a number of years now and they are very efficient, always keep you updated, and you receive a personal service. They understand our business needs. The CBILS Loan from initial enquiry to funds in the bank less than a week. I would highly recommend them.
Speedy Personable Service - Highly Recommend
Truly fantastic and dependable service. In such turbulent times and with the criteria for meeting CBILS loans incredibly high, having a dependable broker that is willing to spend the time to truly understand your business needs as well as having a deep-rooted understanding of ever-changing requirements from such a vast array of providers is invaluable. Highly recommended.
Truly fantastic and dependable service
