Deep Siddhant was probably the only helpful person we've ever worked with when it comes to sourcing finance. All our questions were answered within minutes, if we made a mistake sending the wrong thing he got it sorted straight away.

I asked 3 brokers to secure funding for our expansion plans. One was Portman finance. They were by far the worst. They got me approval from funding crowd & funding circle. I could have applied for that. Callan @ tide funding solutions was the best out of the 2 remaining options. They both acquired funding saving 10’s of thousands of pounds in interest but as Callan reduced their broker rate and kept me fully informed from start to finish he won the business. I would recommend tide funding solutions to anyone. Thank you Callan

From very start of getting email that company may be subject for Funding to actually getting one was such an easy thing to do. Few phone calls with very helpfull and polite staff from Tide Funding and my funds were in my account. Highly recommend for any small company to try.
Yet another unsolicited email
My client has received yet another unsolicited marketing email regarding business funding but this time from Funding Options. My client has never requested information about loans or funding, yet their details were sourced via a third-party list broker (as stated in the small print of the email).
While they do provide an unsubscribe link, I do not feel comfortable that my clients were shared in this way without their consent. For a company authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, I would expect higher standards when it comes to respecting business data and communication preferences.
I cannot comment on their financial products or services, but my experience with their marketing practices has been negative.

Funding options team was a great help to me.I would highly commend Petya Petrova who was very helpful in arranging funds for me in time.Her communication was very good and funds were arranged quickly than any other online websites.Thanks Petya
Professional, efficient and courteous
I dealt with Lewis who was understood our position very quickly. He was able to obtain finance at very favourable terms, which was paid into our bank account within seven days of starting the whole process.
At all times Leiws was very courteous and professional.
It was a pleasure doing business with him!
