The ambition

A growing law firm approached us seeking a £50,000 loan to cover three months of staff wages while client fee payments were delayed in the case pipeline.

How the finance was structured

Looked beyond the headline £50,000 request, reviewing trading history, pipeline and future cash flow needs, then presented a stronger case to lenders matched to true affordability.

What it made possible

Pre Approval for £72,000 came through in 48 hours. The firm drew £64,000, covering four months of wages plus investment in marketing, tech and recruitment, without needing to borrow again.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. 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.
