We make it our mission to say yes, while other lenders look for reasons to say no
There are no robots here. We use the latest technology to sort out the complicated stuff, but we make a cast-iron guarantee to our borrowers that they are dealing with real people
Too many lenders unfairly rely on historical data and algorithms before breaking the inevitable news that ‘computer says no’. That’s not us.
We take the time to talk to you so we can understand the specific needs of your business. And we’ll always challenge your assumptions and business plans, giving you the very best shot at securing the loan that best suits you.
We only ask that your trading activity must be predominantly in the UK, and that the business has a sterling bank account in the UK.

Why Do We Care
As a startup, we have had the unique opportunity to create an organizational culture which reflects our guiding mission of helping small businesses grow from the ground up. We have proved it is possible to build a fintech startup, help people who need it most, and enjoy our work – all at the same time.
We’re dynamic, fast-paced, and always evolving but we keep our kindness, integrity, and a human touch at the core of everything we do. It’s not just about the work itself, at AskIf we know the way we treat our people, our customers and each other will shape us as we grow – and we’re certainly growing!
We’re not a corporate machine, we’re just like the businesses we serve. Focused, nimble, and ambitious, our unique position ensures our team understands the needs of the businesses we support when dealing with their funding applications.
We’ve been there, we want to help and our people work together to make it happen for your business.
