Invoice finance
Borrow against the value of your unpaid invoices — funds released as soon as you issue them.
Asset-based lending
Revolving facility secured against receivables, inventory, plant and machinery, or property.
Unsecured loans
Fixed-term funding without collateral — typically faster to draw, smaller in size.
Secured term loans
Long-dated business loan secured against property, equipment, or other commercial assets.
Bridging finance
Short-term loan to bridge timing on a property purchase, refinance, or transaction deadline.
Development finance
Funds the construction phase of a development project, drawn in tranches against build milestones.

Frequently asked questions
If your question isn't covered here, the quickest way to a proper answer is to start an application — we'll respond same-day.
What does it cost to use Tenttfinance?
Tenttfinance is free for borrowers. We're paid a placement fee by the lender or broker only if a facility draws - our incentive is aligned with finding you the right partner.
How fast will a lender get in touch?
We forward your details to the right partner within 48 hours of a complete request. Most lenders or brokers then reach out to you directly within another business day.
What size loans can I apply for?
We work with facilities from £100,000 / $125,000 working capital through to £75M / $90M acquisition and growth debt. For smaller, we'll point you to a self-serve channel; for larger, we'll match you to a syndication partner.
Will applying affect my credit score?
No - Tenttfinance does not run credit checks. We collect your information and pass it on to the partner most likely to fund. Any credit check happens later, only when the lender progresses your application, and only with your explicit consent at that point.
Do you present me with offers?
No - we don't present offers ourselves. Our role is matchmaking: we take your information and forward it to the private lender or broker best suited to your needs. They then reach out to you directly with terms, documentation, and next steps.
Can I apply with bad credit?
Yes - many of our specialty and non-bank partners take a view beyond the credit score. We'll be honest about what's likely realistic given your profile.
Who do you introduce me to?
We have a curated network of UK and US private lenders - asset-based lenders, equipment finance houses, private credit funds, bridging specialists, and vertical-specialty lenders - and we work with specialist brokers where their relationships add value. Every introduction is matched to your specific situation, not a generic blast.
Do you cover both the UK and US?
Yes. Tenttfinance operates across both markets. Tell us where the business is based and where the funds will be used, and we'll match you to a partner with the relevant licences and underwriting appetite in that market.
Do you work with early-stage businesses and start-ups?
Yes - we work with start-up partners, asset finance for first-equipment purchases, and unsecured lending for businesses with at least 6 months of trading history.
