Rivers Finance have been amazing since…

Rivers Finance have been amazing since we first took out our agreement. They’ve helped us so much along the way, and we really appreciate all the support they’ve given us.

A special thank you to Krishan and Mark, who have worked with us throughout and supported us every step of the way. It’s made such a difference knowing we can turn to them when we need help.

We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for everything!

Rivers are 2nd to none for on going business support

Rivers have supported our company for the last four years, we have had the various ups and downs of an ever expanding and developing business, Rivers have not only been our funder but our partner in good times and bad, never let us down when we have really needed them. its not only about the initial lend "that's the easy bit with most lenders" is about how they conduct themselves afterwards and Rivers are 2nd to none

So easy to deal with...

Great experience dealing with Rivers Leasing.
Ian was so helpful and the process was seamless from start to finish. My client was over the moon with the result and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Reply from Rivers Finance Group

Dear Drew,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed.

In relation to your point on being 'mis-sold' a loan - Rivers did not sell you a loan - your broker did. If you have any concerns on that matter, please contact our offices to discuss them with a member of our team.

The total cost of your borrowing was made clear at the outset, and you confirmed at the time that you understood, in writing.

I am a little surprised at your review, since you have never mentioned an issue to your broker, or our team over the course of your borrowing, and in addition you have only recently applied for additional funding.

If you would like to speak to us we would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Best wishes.

Excellent Service

We wanted a loan to help with the refurbishment of our premises and to tidy up one or two other items. I was very pleasantly surprised how quickly the process was completed and at a very reasonable cost.

Highly recommended.
