Poor execution has consequences.

Declines. Delays. Watching your profit vanish into thin air. Losing your hard won equity.

Loan applications donโ€™t fail because funding isnโ€™t available. Thereโ€™s plenty of money out there.

They fail because applications for funding are not structured well. Mis-timed or badly presented.

In complex situations, how a loan application is framed matters as much as the project itself. Applications that are unclear, incomplete, or poorly positioned are often quickly dismissed.

This is where I come in.

I work with developers, investors, and business owners where funding decisions carry real consequences โ€” tight timeframes, multiple stakeholders, many hoops to jump through and limited room for error.

I know the lenders risk lens well. I know how to mitigate risks that can sometimes be deadstops if not handled in the right way. I can spot the challenges in the distance and pre-empt them before they ever become an issue.

I will pull all the pieces of the puzzle together to present your story to the right lender, with the right structure. I get approvals with the minimum amount of friction, getting the smoothest possible settlement.

Iโ€™m here to save you the headaches. The gut wrenching anxiety hoping your project wonโ€™t fall over, through no fault of your own.

This is tailored, specialist advice, built on years of experience and years of building networks. You are not a number. Iโ€™m on your team and I want to see you win.

Why work with me?

Lender relationships.

I have strong lender relationships. I have built a high level of trust within these relationships. I know how to structure deals to fit their policy. I know how to pick the best lender for your needs. This means your application moves to approval, smoothly and efficiently.

Lender experience.

I have worked within non bank lending for over 10 years. I understand policy, risk appetite and credit behaviour, meaning smooth approvals first time around.

Fewer clients. Deeper involvement.

I deliberately keep my client base small. I get to understand the nuances of your project and plans. I aim to build long term relationships, not quick wins.

Speed and accuracy.

Timing is key. Weโ€™ll move as quickly as we need to - to get the deal done.

About me.

Claire Seymour - Specialist Finance Adviser.

I have over 10 yearsโ€™ experience across non-bank lending and private credit.

Iโ€™ve worked with the toughest credit teams! Iโ€™ve seen all sorts of scenarios where loans have gone wrong - through no fault of the client. Poor communication from brokers, solicitors, other lenders, shareholders, trades, council, planners. You name it, Iโ€™ve seen it. Iโ€™m sure you can name a few scenarios too.

Iโ€™ve developed skills and system which allow me to ensure the smoothest of approvals and settlements.

This is what I excell at. I look after my clients. But donโ€™t take my word for it! Find out what other clients have said here:
