Business loan options for London businesses
We arrange commercial borrowing for working capital, growth, refinancing and more, matched to the cashflow and plans of your business.
Industries we support in London
From established manufacturers to growing SMEs, we understand the business loan needs of London and Greater London companies and match each enquiry with suitable lenders.
Professional and financial services
Consultancies, agencies and professional firms may seek funding for recruitment, project mobilisation, technology investment or an office move before the resulting revenue is received.
Hospitality, leisure and retail
London operators can face substantial rent, payroll, stock and refurbishment costs. Funding should be matched to a realistic repayment source and account for seasonal or location-specific trading patterns.
Construction and commercial interiors
Contractors and fit-out businesses often pay labour, subcontractors and suppliers before receiving stage payments. A loan may support mobilisation, while invoice or asset finance may be more suitable in other cases.
Technology, media and creative businesses
Digital, software and creative firms can be asset-light but still require capital for hiring, product development, production costs or a contract with an upfront delivery burden.
Healthcare and private practices
Clinics and practices may use business finance for refurbishment, expansion, recruitment or working capital. Equipment purchases may be better suited to a separate asset finance facility.
Wholesale, logistics and distribution
Outer-London wholesalers and logistics firms may need funding for stock, supplier deposits, fuel, warehouse costs and growth. The facility should reflect stock turnover and customer payment terms.
What a business loan can help fund
Whether you need to protect cashflow today or invest for tomorrow, a suitable loan can give your London business room to move.

Why London businesses choose Sorbus Finance
Funding matched to the purpose
Working capital, refurbishment, acquisition and refinancing needs have different risk and repayment profiles. We identify the purpose and expected repayment source before approaching lenders.
Access beyond one high-street bank
As an independent broker, our panel includes 150+ UK lenders, and we can consider relevant options instead of limiting the conversation to one institution’s products.
Clear, remote support
London clients are supported by phone, video, email and digital documents from our Chesterfield office. We do not imply that Sorbus has a branch or premises in London.
No upfront fees
In almost all circumstances we do not charge a broker fee. Should a broker fee be chargeable you will be made aware clearly in advance and it will be agreed in writing before you proceed. Read our Initial Disclosure.
Who you could speak to
- STEP 1
A conversation with a broker
You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.
- STEP 2
Credit placement
If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.
- STEP 3
Lender assessment
The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.
- STEP 4
Documentation
If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.
Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
