Finance for what your business needs next
Whether you’re investing in growth, managing cash flow, purchasing assets or looking to fund a specific opportunity, CapSage can help connect your business with an appropriate provider from within our network.
Getting the right funding shouldn’t mean applying again and again.
You may already know the type of finance your business needs. The harder part is knowing which providers are actually a good fit for your business and your circumstances.
Every provider has different criteria. Finding the right one can mean hours of research, multiple phone calls, repeated applications and avoidable rejections before you reach someone who may be able to help.
And it doesn’t cost you anything.
There is no fee to use CapSage’s assessment and matching service. If we identify an appropriate Funding Provider, CapSage is paid by the provider when an introduction is made.

Why we built CapSage
UK businesses have more choice than ever when it comes to finance.
Alongside traditional banks, there is now a growing market of challenger banks, specialist lenders and alternative finance providers, offering different products to businesses with different needs and circumstances.
68%
of UK SME lending in 2025 came from challenger and specialist banks or non bank lenders.

More choice is a good thing. But it can also make finding the right provider more complicated.
Every provider has its own criteria and appetite for the businesses it wants to fund. For a busy business owner or executive, understanding that market and working out which providers are genuinely relevant can take time they would rather spend running their business.
That’s the problem CapSage was built to solve.
We don’t believe businesses need more places to search for finance. They need a simpler way to narrow the field and get to the providers that are relevant to them.
CapSage brings Funding Providers and their criteria into one network, then uses the information you give us about your business and what you need to identify an appropriate match.
The aim is simple: help you get to the right Funding Provider faster, improve your prospects of securing finance by starting with a better fit, and give you back the time you might otherwise spend searching, calling and applying.
Time you can spend building your business instead.
Who we introduce you to
We don’t add Funding Providers to the CapSage network simply because they want to be introduced to our users.
Before a provider can join our network, we check that they are a legitimate business finance provider serving UK companies and that they meet the standards we expect from organisations we are prepared to introduce to CapSage users.
Our Funding Provider standards
To become and remain part of the CapSage network, Funding Providers must meet the standards we have established for our users.
UK business finance focus
They must actively provide appropriate finance solutions to UK limited companies.
Appropriate regulatory and legal standing
Where their activities require FCA authorisation or other regulatory permissions, we verify their status. Where specific regulatory authorisation is not required, we still verify the legal identity and standing of the business.
An established and verifiable business
We look for a genuine trading presence, identifiable ownership or management, professional contact information and evidence that we are dealing with a legitimate finance provider.
A clear finance proposition
We need to understand what finance they provide, the types of businesses they serve and the circumstances in which their solutions may be appropriate.
Clear matching criteria
Funding Providers must give CapSage sufficient information about the businesses and funding requirements they want to consider. These criteria form part of the information our matching engine uses when identifying an appropriate match.
Responsible commercial practices
We expect Funding Providers within our network to operate professionally and transparently. We will not knowingly work with providers whose practices we consider misleading, opaque or potentially harmful to CapSage users.
Standards that continue
Our checks don’t end when a Funding Provider joins the network. We expect providers to continue meeting our standards, and we can remove a provider if we believe those standards are no longer being met.
A reason behind every introduction
Funding Providers don’t simply buy their way into the CapSage network.
When CapSage makes an introduction, our aim is for there to be a clear reason behind it: your requirements have been assessed against the criteria provided to us by a Funding Provider that has met our standards for inclusion in the network.
