Why choose BEF North East?

You won't have to navigate the funding process alone. You'll have someone to turn to when you have questions, need clarity or aren't sure what to do next.

Finance can feel complicated. You shouldn't have to figure it all out alone.

You'll have someone to talk to, ask questions and turn to when you're unsure what happens next.

You shouldn't have to feel like a square peg in a round hole just to get finance.

We offer another route to funding, with an approach that gives you the opportunity to explain your business, your plans and your circumstances.

We've sat across the table from thousands of business owners. We know that running a business rarely goes exactly to plan.

That experience helps us have more informed conversations about the challenges you're facing, the opportunities you're pursuing and what you need next.

We won't leave you wondering what's happening or waiting in the dark. We'll keep you informed, give you a clear decision and, where appropriate, explain the reason, so you can make your next move with confidence.

Not every application is successful. Even when we're unable to offer you a loan, we'll give you an answer as fast as we can and explain the next steps available to you.
