Borrowing Risk Review

Independent assessment of your commercial borrowing arrangement before you sign.

A written, independent review of your borrowing documents, terms, and structure, explained in plain English.

We help you understand what the headline numbers do not show, so you can decide how to proceed with more clarity and less pressure.

Who it is for

Directors and owners of UK businesses.

Directors and owners of UK businesses who have been offered, or are considering, a commercial borrowing facility of any size, including term loans, asset finance, invoice finance, secured lending, or a combination of arrangements.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a borrowing review?

A borrowing review is an independent, document-based assessment of the structure, terms, and mechanics of a commercial borrowing arrangement.

Who is this for?

Business owners and directors who want a clearer understanding of a borrowing offer before they commit.

What does the review cover?

We look at the structure, repayment terms, fees, cost drivers, and any points that may need clarification.

What does the review not cover?

We do not assess affordability, overall financial suitability, or business performance.

Are you FCA-regulated?

No. We provide independent analysis and review services. We do not act as a broker or intermediary.

Is this financial advice?

No. Our service is analytical and informational only. All decisions remain your responsibility.

Do you act as a broker or take commission?

No. We do not receive commissions, referral fees, or incentives from lenders or third parties.

What information do you need?

Only documents relevant to the borrowing arrangement, such as the facility letter, agreement, repayment schedule, and fee information.

Do we check FCA status?

Yes. We review the documents and relevant public information, and apply our professional knowledge to identify indicators that the arrangement may involve FCA-regulated activity or possible FOS protection. Some lending arrangements are regulated and some are not. Where the position is uncertain, we flag it for further legal review.

What information should I not send?

Please do not send bank statements, accounts, tax filings, identification documents, or personal financial information.

How does the process work?

You complete the questionnaire first. We review your answers before deciding whether to proceed. If suitable, we arrange the next stage and send the relevant checklist and engagement pack.

What do I receive at the end?

You receive a written report or summary, plus a follow-up call where included.

Can I share the report with others?

No. The report is for your internal use only and must not be shared with lenders, brokers, or third parties without prior written consent.

Not sure which tier fits?

Start with the questionnaire. We review your answers first and then decide whether to proceed.
