The story behind the name Clear
A rich history of helping businesses just like yours...
Back in 2009, a deep recession had reached all corners of the world. We were in the grip of a banking crisis and businesses were challenged to think differently.
Our three founding directors were drawn together by a desire to better service the industry. They felt they could offer something different, something that would change the way Business Finance is accessible to companies throughout the UK, cutting the complexities and keeping it simple.
Our directors all worked within different sectors of the finance industry and it was clear they’d offer a bigger, better service if they formed an alliance. That convergence of servicing has been the cornerstone of our success.
The name ‘Clear’ represents how we understood one funder will not ‘credit clear’ every business for finance. Subsequently, we have gone the extra mile partnering with over 60 funding partners, both household names and niche players, to ensure we can credit ‘clear’ as many businesses as possible.
Our aim is to secure you, the customer, the right funding at the right price. We act as a conduit providing our customers access to a panel of expert lenders. Our Customers trust us because we are the first to know about preferential rates entering the market and similarly our Funders trust us because we only align the right customer with them, saving everyone time.
Our focus is on our customers' ability to grow and for that reason, we have always been there to help during good times and bad. With Brexit on the horizon and a global pandemic to contend with, we aim to secure the right finance for your business's needs.
We are always on hand to support our clients and pride ourselves on the transparency of our service. That is why ‘Clear’ now means so much more. Our clients feel ‘Clear’ represents how easy and simple we make the process. We have streamlined our services and understand how important it is for your business to receive a quick impartial solution.
Clear, it’s in the name. We are Clear Business Finance. Your Business Finance Experts.
We’re big enough to cope and small enough to care. #ClearTheWay for a better financial future
Our Values
Stability
We all seek stability, it’s that moment where you feel empowered to do your best work and it’s the first step towards sustainable business growth. We’re not interested in quick wins; we are here to stay! We are continually assessing what we’re doing well and identifying opportunities in the market which will allow us to improve the service we offer. When we present our clients with a financial package, we have done our due diligence and are confident that it’s the right solution for them.
We are made up of people looking to create greater customer awareness of the products that are on the market, thus helping to increase the awareness amongst UK businesses of the alternative funding that is available to them. Our aim is to make the choice Clear.
We have members of our team that have been with us for over a decade and we pride ourselves on the rapport and mutual respect that we have built up between ourselves and our clients over this time. Our service to our customers doesn’t stop, we’re there every step of the way supporting you throughout the length of your contract.
Speed
When we are contacted by a business, more often than not they have an immediate need for funding. That is why we have invested in the latest technology to ensure that we can provide a rapid service. We can secure you the needed funding in as little as 24 hours, in comparison to some traditional banks that can take up to a month.
Here’s how we do it:
1. We have a direct line into a wide range of funders. Due to the volume of applications we submit to our funding partners, we are familiar with their processes and are experts in determining where your application is best placed. Sometimes this can also help us to secure you preferential rates.
2. If you are a limited company, you go through the process of filing your accounts every year, so why should we need to ask you again for this information. We don’t! We have systems in place that allow us access to this information so that we can assess your eligibility within minutes. Hassle-free finance the way it should be.
3. eSign. This makes sense in more ways than one. Gone are the days of waiting for the post to arrive, this is finance for the fast-paced & environmentally friendly businesses of today. Discover More About Electronic Signature.

... from a real person.
Like every town, every business is made up of people and generally, it’s the people that make the place. That is why at Clear we put client relationships at the forefront of what we do, we strongly believe in and value our staff AND our clients, be they sole traders or large limited companies.
There are times when a computer algorithm doesn’t quite cut it and we are confident that every member of our team will ‘go the extra mile’ assessing applications on an individual basis, doing their best to ensure a happy outcome for our customers.
The level of support you receive at Clear Business Finance we feel is what helps us to stand out.
