Steve Watkin
Finance Director
I have worked with Compare Your Funding for over 10 years from when they first helped us move our Invoice Finance facility from our High Street bank to a more tailored funder. I found them very knowledgeable of the process given he had a wealth of experience from his time in business.
Andrew Phillips
Finance Director
We've recently worked with Jamie on securing funding for one of our property projects, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He was proactive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to getting us the best terms - and he delivered.

TGL / Karl Hutchinson have been helping our company for over 10 years. His knowledge of the sector and his contacts within the industry are second to none. Professional, reliable, and trustworthy - highly recommended for any business funding requirements.

Meet your advisor
Mark Hagan co-founded Compare Your Funding in 2013 after seeing a gap in the market for a genuinely honest approach to business funding - particularly invoice finance.
The founding insight: too many businesses get pushed towards products that suit the broker, not the business. Everything at Compare Your Funding flows from that.
With over £250 million secured for UK businesses, the team - which includes a Chartered Banker and Fellow of the Chartered Banker Institute - is here to help you compare options with no pressure and no obligation.
