About Sigma

Business finance shouldn't be this hard

We started Sigma Business Finance because too many good businesses were being turned away by their bank, or drowning in paperwork just to get a straight answer. We built the alternative.

Our Story

A broker built around the borrower

Sigma Business Finance was founded to close the gap between ambitious UK businesses and the funding they need to grow. Too often, business owners were stuck choosing between a single bank's narrow criteria or navigating dozens of lenders alone.

Today, we work with a panel of 50+ specialist lenders across every major finance product — from short-term working capital to multi-million pound commercial property deals — so business owners get one straightforward point of contact and a genuinely whole-of-market comparison.

We're not a lender. We don't profit from pushing one product over another. Our only job is to find the facility that actually fits your business.

According to the NACFB Industry Report (2024), 32% of UK SMEs successfully funded through commercial finance brokers had previously been declined funding elsewhere.

Radical transparency

Clear rates, clear terms, no hidden fees. If a product isn't right for you, we'll say so.

Speed

Most applications get a decision within 24–48 hours — we don't believe good funding has to mean a slow process.

Solutions-focused

Every recommendation is matched to your numbers and goals — not whichever lender pays the most commission.

Success-based incentives

We're paid by our lending partners when your funding completes, so our incentive is the same as yours — getting you funded.
