Whether you need working capital, equipment finance, commercial property finance or funding to support growth, we compare lenders across our broad lender panel to find a solution that suits your circumstances.

We structure and present your application clearly, then identify lenders whose assessment criteria may suit your business and financial circumstances.

Why choose 3LANE Finance

Small business owners often have more complex financials than salaried borrowers. We understand how lenders assess business income and help you find a finance solution that's aligned with the way your business operates.

How we help

Small business owners need finance that's built around the way their businesses actually operate.

Many lenders assess business owners using standard lending criteria that don't always reflect the true strength of a business. Reinvested profits, seasonal cash flow and one-off expenses can all affect borrowing capacity, even when the business is performing well.

By comparing lenders across our broad lender panel, we help you find a finance solution that's aligned with your circumstances. We present your financial position with the context lenders need, highlighting trading performance, cash flow and other factors that provide a more complete picture than tax returns alone.

  • Working capital and cash-flow finance to support seasonal or project-based businesses
  • Commercial property finance for business owners purchasing their own premises
  • Business loans for growth, inventory, equipment and expansion
