Highly recommend Acorn for all my business finance needs

Highly recommend Acorn for finance needs. They have provided a superb service throughout, but most importantly speed. I was introduced via a 3rd party, having been badly let down by my previous broker and I was staggered at what they were able to achieve in 3 days! The whole process is not only seamless, but also the staff and friendly and efficient, delivering a fantastic customer experience and immediate response time.

Response time was exceptional

Highly recommend Acorn for your finance needs. They have provided a great service throughout, but most importantly speed. I felt they really understood what we were looking to achieve and the process was seamless. The team at Acorn should be very proud indeed, fantastic customer experience and response time.

Applied for borrowing to pay VAT and this was agreed and paid out within the week
The whole experience was positive. Quickest and least onerous application process I have done to date.
I would use Acorn Business Finance services again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for similar.

Nikki was very helpful and kept us up to date with everything - even when she had time off she made sure we were updated.
Whenever there was a query she got to it quickly and helped us understand the issue so we could answer and solve it straight away.
It became a very simple process so we could focus on our business.

A really positive experience

A really positive experience - Stuart was quick to understand our requirements and was able to recommend a cost-effective solution. The process was professional and efficient from start to finish. Each stage was explained thoroughly and our documents checked by the team, so we could get things right first time - we would not hesitate to go back to Acorn Business Finance for any future requirements.

Stuart at Acorn was superb

Stuart at Acorn was superb. Understood our fully requirements, engaged with us pro-actively throughout. Could not have been more helpful. Organised all the funding requirements we needed at excellent rates. Could not recommend enough.
