When I started in the Asset Finance industry at Barclays, I was providing the bank’s customers with loans for cars and machinery. I didn’t have any idea of just how many lenders there are out there.

I then worked for a couple of finance brokerages over the following 11 years, and started to get a sense of the market and the sheer volume of funders with money to lend; each one with its own set of guidelines, rates, specialities, and appetites for business.

Having Started Source Asset Finance, in 2015 we are now in a position where we can utilise this base of knowledge to help try to find our client’s the funds they need to operate and grow their businesses.

Being a brokerage with access to a panel of over 100 lenders, means our customers can deal direct with one single point of contact, whilst we go out to the market and deal with each individual lender.

The main advantage we give our clients is the ability to continue running their business, or do what they enjoy doing, instead of spending their valuable time trying to scour the market for finance providers, when many of the lenders we use only deal with brokers and don’t market themselves either.

At a time where the traditional high street banks are increasingly declining customers for finance or placing restrictive conditions on them, we can be a vital alternative source of finance.
