Halo Corporate Finance provides some insider insights from a broker who, within just under a year on the front lines and backed by a firm that has brokered nearly £1bn for over 22,000 clients, can show you how to leverage finance solutions for maximum savings.
Business finance can feel like a minefield. Rates shift daily, lenders vary widely, and it can be hard to tell if you’re securing a genuinely good deal. Yet, getting it right could save you thousands and open doors to long-term opportunities.
David Thomson, a broker who joined in March last year, works with a well-established team at an organisation celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. The firm has supported businesses across sectors – from construction and manufacturing to retail and transport – providing tailored solutions rather than one-size-fits-all packages.
Here, David reveals the top 10 tips every business owner must know to ensure they are not leaving money on the table:
- Review regularly: just as you compare car insurance each year, make it a habit to re-examine your finance arrangements. Markets change quickly – what worked last year might not be optimal today.
- Rates change constantly: yesterday’s ‘good deal’ could be expensive tomorrow. Keep an eye on changing interest rates and lender offers to consistently secure the best terms.
- Insist on transparency: a trustworthy broker makes costs and terms crystal clear. If anything seems hidden or overly complicated, walk away. Clarity ensures you know exactly what you’re agreeing to.
- Find the right fit over big names: the largest lender isn’t always your best choice. Seek a solution tailor-made to your business’s size, sector and goals, rather than a generic product from a well-known brand.
- Compare, compare, compare: don’t accept the first offer you see. A skilled broker will survey multiple lenders to find you a truly competitive deal—saving you time and money.
- Think long-term, not just short-term: a slightly higher rate now could lead to more flexible terms or better opportunities later. Weigh immediate savings against future growth potential.
- Leverage industry expertise: advice from someone who understands your sector is invaluable. Specialist insights ensure the finance solution aligns with your industry’s unique challenges and priorities.
- Act fast when timing is key: if a valuable asset or strategic opportunity emerges, swift, informed decisions make the difference. A responsive broker streamlines processes, so you can strike while the iron’s hot.
- Trust proven results: with nearly £1bn brokered and over 22,000 clients helped, this team’s track record speaks for itself. Such experience means they’ve re- fined their approach to consistently deliver the best outcomes.
-
Inaction costs more: ignoring new options or sticking with outdated arrangements might feel comfortable, but it usually results in paying more than necessary. Take action now to unlock immediate and long-term gains.
