Where Backed sits, and who pays us
Backed is an independent introducer. We are not a lender and we do not make lending decisions. We take your company’s funding requirement and, where appropriate, introduce your company to one or more funding partners. We do not give advice or recommendations. Finance is provided by third parties, who determine eligibility, terms and approval.
Where an introduced company is funded, the provider pays a commission and we receive a share. Your company pays nothing at any stage. Your details are shared only as needed to handle this funding enquiry, and never sold.
The usual questions.
Does Backed lend the money?+−
No. Backed is an independent introducer. We do not lend and we do not make lending decisions. Finance is provided by third parties, who determine eligibility, terms and approval.
Do we need to know which finance product we need?+−
No. Bring the business requirement — what needs funding, how much and by when. Passing it to funding partners whose criteria it may fit is our part of the job.
Who will our details be shared with?+−
With one or more funding partners, so they can contact your company about this enquiry. Nothing else. The full detail is set out in our consent page and privacy policy.
What does this cost?+−
Nothing to your company. Where an introduced business is funded, the provider pays a commission and we receive a share of it. You are never invoiced.
Are sole traders eligible?+−
Not through Backed. The funding partners we work with deal with UK limited companies and LLPs.
How much can our company raise?+−
That depends on the requirement, the company's turnover and trading history, and the provider. Nobody here can promise an amount or an approval.
What size of requirement suits Backed best?+−
Requirements of around £100k and above, from companies trading two years or more. Smaller enquiries from established companies are still welcome.
