How is a broker different from going to my bank?

Your bank can only offer their own products. We compare loans from 300+ lenders to find the best fit for your situation — rate, features, and approval likelihood.

What documents do I need to apply?

Typically: ID, recent payslips, tax returns, bank statements, and details of any existing debts. We'll give you a personalised checklist when we meet.

How long does loan approval take?

Pre-approval can take 1–3 business days. Full approval usually takes 1–2 weeks depending on the lender and complexity.

Do you help with commercial and development finance?

Yes — it's one of our specialties. We have access to 130+ commercial lenders including private funders for complex deals.

Can I get help in my language?

Absolutely. Our team speaks English, Greek, Italian, Mandarin, and Hebrew.
