Financial & Lending Services: find professionals

Financial and lending services covers mortgage brokers, commercial mortgage and business loan brokers, commercial and asset finance, and financial advisers and planners.

A mortgage broker compares options from several lenders for a purchase or a remortgage. Business loan brokers and commercial lenders help companies find working capital, overdrafts or asset finance. Financial advisers help with investing, pensions and other long-term plans; whether an adviser is independent or restricted, and how they are paid, can affect the advice you get, so ask.

Nearly all financial services activity in the UK must be authorised or registered by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Financial Services Register is a public record of the firms and individuals that are, or have been, authorised by the FCA or the Prudential Regulation Authority, and it also records unauthorised firms and known scams. Check a firm on the register before you share any financial information, and never send account numbers, income details or identity documents through a web form. LokalMatch doesn’t give financial advice or recommend any adviser.
