Fantastic Service from Cator Wells!

I have worked with Dan Dawson at Cator Wells for several years, and the service he provides is consistently outstanding. Dan is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to going above and beyond for his clients. He regularly succeeds in getting complex and challenging deals over the line where others have fallen short.

The level of service is second to none and truly sets him apart within the industry. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan and the wider team at Cator Wells, including John, to anyone looking for a broker they can rely on to deliver exceptional results.

A Broker That Truly Knows Their Clients

We’ve had a really positive experience working with Cator Wells. As a lender, it makes a huge difference when a broker truly knows their clients inside out, and that’s exactly what they do. Dan and John clearly take the time to fully understand their clients’ financial positions and circumstances, which means credit questions are answered quickly and accurately from the outset.

That level of preparation makes the whole journey slick and straightforward for everyone involved. Cases are packaged thoroughly, expectations are managed properly, and there’s no unnecessary back-and-forth. It allows us as the lender to make informed decisions efficiently and with confidence, which ultimately benefits the client too.

Dan, John, and the wider Cator Wells team are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making the process smooth and easy. We really value working with them.

"Trusted the Director of Cator Wells — Now I'm a Victim of a Financial Scam"

I regret to say that my experience with the director of Cator Wells has been deeply disappointing and financially damaging. He personally introduced me to the 79th Group and strongly encouraged me to invest significant sums of money. The opportunity was presented as trustworthy and secure, with repeated assurances of its legitimacy.

Now that the 79th Group is under investigation for fraud, the director has gone completely silent. Despite numerous calls, texts, and emails, I have received no response whatsoever. His complete lack of accountability and refusal to communicate during such a critical time is both unprofessional and unacceptable.

This experience casts serious doubt on his integrity, and I feel both misled and abandoned. It’s important that others are made aware. I would strongly caution anyone against doing business with him

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how distressing this situation must be.

For clarity, Cator Wells Finance has never arranged finance for, nor held any commercial relationship with, the 79th Group.

The introduction referenced was made by Daniel during his time at a previous firm. It was a good-faith referral based on the information available at that time. He has had no involvement in the company’s operations, management, or decision-making.

As a broker, our role is to arrange finance based on the information provided at the time of application. We do not manage or monitor the conduct of any borrower, lender, or third party after funds have been released. In cases involving default or allegations of fraud, it would not be appropriate—or within our remit—to provide updates or advice, as we are not a party to the business or its financial performance.

While this situation is deeply regrettable, it is entirely separate from the services provided by Cator Wells Finance.

We remain committed to operating with transparency, integrity, and professionalism, and we always encourage clients to carry out their own due diligence and seek independent legal and financial advice when entering into any funding arrangement.

Kind regards,


Cator Wells Finance
