Your bank is one credit policy. It is not the entire business-finance market.
Compare bank, non-bank and specialist lender routes without making multiple applications just to discover who may fit the request.
- Different lenders assess turnover, security, industry and cash flow differently
- Use non-bank finance because it fits the deal — not simply because it is faster
- Compare total cost, term, security and flexibility before proceeding
The same business can fit one lender and fail another lender’s scorecard.
Can suit stronger files where pricing, term and relationship banking are priorities.
Can offer different policy, documentation, speed, security and cash-flow assessment.
Useful where the product needs to match receivables, property, equipment, tax debt or a complex scenario.
Compare policy fit before credit-file activity.
An enquiry with GPS Finance does not itself require a lender credit check. A formal lender application may later involve an enquiry with your consent.
Common questions
Are non-bank business lenders always more expensive?
No universal rule applies. Pricing depends on risk, product, term, security and the lender. Compare the total facility, not just the lender category.
Can a non-bank lender help after a bank decline?
Sometimes. First identify why the bank declined the request. A different lender only helps if its policy and credit appetite fit the underlying facts.
