Testimonials

"We have worked with Funding Guru for varied lending needs for over 10 years now. From arranging invoice finance, to leasing new vehicles, to cashflow assistance - Matt and his team never disappoint. When we first started our business securing finance was far from easy but Funding Guru provided solutions that few others couldn't and they have continued to support us as our business has developed and grown to an 8 figure turnover."
Craig BowerServo Group
"Coming out of COVID our business, like most, wasn't in a great place. We hadn't been able to trade for over a year and finding finance options was proving difficult for us. Funding Guru was prepared to look at what a successful business we had been prior to the start of the pandemic, and what great opportunities lay ahead for us. The facility they provided solved our cashflow needs and allowed us to concentrate on being the UK's premier race team!'
Tony GilhamTeam Hard
"I knew Matt long before he was a lender, when he was building his own businesses and finding creative ways to finance his growth. So as soon as he started Funding Guru I knew there was only going to be one person to talk to about my own business finance requirements!"
Allan HarperLeisure Entrepreneur
"Fast funding. Helpful staff. No jargon. Highly recommended!"
