About

We are a purpose-led, not-for-profit finance broker for UK Limited Companies. Since 2019, we have provided small businesses with access to the finance they need to grow and helped them to navigate the finance landscape with confidence.

Our unique social enterprise approach differentiates us from traditional finance brokers and gives clients confidence in our recommendations. They value that we remain human in an increasingly automated finance ecosystem and combine brokering with education.

Access to affordable finance is critical to the success of any business, however, obtaining it is often listed as one of the biggest challenges that founders face. We are here to change that!

“Dealing with BCDF was a pleasure. They are professional and very capable. The finance solution they provided fitted our requirements perfectly and we would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. BCDF comes highly recommended by us.” – Gareth, All Trade Property Services

For aspiring founders and new businesses, we provide a range of support through our Complete Business Start Up Programme. This start up training is available throughout the year and caters to a variety of learning styles through online courses, interactive workshops, intensive one-to-one mentoring and an exclusive networking community.

The ‘CD’ in our name stands for ‘Community Development’. We want to make careers in enterprise more accessible to communities that are excluded or underrepresented in business.
