  • The discovery call is a short, practical conversation to understand your business, your objectives, and where funding is helping or hurting right now. We unpack what you’re trying to achieve, pressure points in your current setup, and whether there’s a clear opportunity to improve or restructure your funding position.

  • We don’t start with a lender, we start with the outcome. Based on your goals, cash flow, growth plans and risk profile, we design a tailored funding strategy that fits your business, not a generic product. Where needed, we’ll work alongside your accountant, CFO or legal advisers to ensure the structure stacks up commercially and strategically.

  • No. Once the strategy is agreed, we identify a small number of best-fit lenders or private credit providers. We focus on flexibility, speed and terms that align with your objectives, rather than shopping the deal around or pushing bank-first solutions.

  • We manage the entire application and approval process end to end, including paperwork, lender communication and coordination, acting as the project lead between you and the funder. Our role doesn’t stop at settlement either, we stay involved post-funding to support refinances, facility increases or future growth funding as your business evolves.

  • Generally lenders pay us directly from their own margins.

  • Funding can sometimes happen the same day for certain lenders, whilst bigger structured facilities can take anywhere from 5 days to 8+ weeks. Major banks typically take longer than private providers.

  • You absolutely can. But working with Nexus gives you broader access, stronger positioning and better outcomes.

    • More options: we source from hundreds of lenders, not just the handful you may already know.

    • Stronger negotiation power: established lender relationships help us secure competitive pricing and better terms.

    • Fit-for-purpose structuring: we understand the full spectrum of funding products and structure facilities aligned to your business, not just what one lender offers.

    • Time efficiency: Running a competitive funding process is time-consuming. We manage it end-to-end so you can focus on running the business.

    Ultimately, it’s about ensuring the funding solution fits the business, not the other way around.

  • In most cases, no.

    Where a credit check is required, it is typically a soft enquiry, which does not impact your credit score.

    We only proceed with any credit check with your knowledge and consent, and we structure the process carefully to avoid unnecessary enquiries that could affect your profile.
