Horizon HQ
Free Mortgage Introductions
Whether your clients are buying their first home, remortgaging, or building a property portfolio, having access to the right mortgage advice can make a significant difference. That is why we partner with Horizon HQ, a free mortgage introduction service covering Surrey, Hampshire, and Berkshire.
Horizon HQ takes the time to understand each client’s personal and financial circumstances, and then matches them to a qualified, FCA-authorised mortgage adviser best suited to their needs. Rather than simply finding the cheapest rate, their focus is on finding the right mortgage for each individual situation — with flexibility built in for changing circumstances over the term.
The service is completely free to use. Horizon HQ is paid by lenders, never by the client. There is no credit check to enquire, and all personal data is encrypted and kept private. They cover a wide range of needs, including residential purchases, remortgages, buy-to-let and landlord support, new build purchases, and legal and conveyancing introductions.
If you are looking for mortgage support, we are happy to introduce you to the Horizon HQ team.
FundingBay
Commercial Finance Broker
Access to the right finance can make all the difference when a business needs to invest, manage cashflow, or take advantage of an opportunity to grow. That is why we partner with FundingBay, a commercial finance broker helping businesses of all shapes and sizes secure the right type of funding for their needs.
Founded in 2017, FundingBay has helped over 1,350 SMEs access more than £1 billion in lending, working with a panel of 250+ lenders to arrange funding from £5,000 up to £1,000,000. Rather than tying clients to a single lender, their market expertise and no-nonsense approach allow them to tailor a flexible finance solution to any business.
FundingBay specialises in a wide range of finance products, including unsecured loans, secured business loans, trade finance, invoice finance, property finance, and asset finance. Working with a broker gives clients access to a wider lender network, faster approvals, unbiased advice, and ongoing support from an account manager once funding is secured.
Allica Bank
Business Bank
Allica is a bank built especially for established businesses with between 5 and 250 employees.
These businesses make up a third of UK employment and turnover, yet they’re overlooked by the big banks with a service that is increasingly impersonal, inconvenient, and poor value.
Allica Bank is on a mission to give established businesses the banking they deserve. That means a current account that rewards business owners for using it, a relationship manager whose name and number they actually know, and powerful tools and technology that make their life easier, not harder.
It’s how business banking used to be, just better.
It’s proving to be a winning combination. Named the UK’s fastest-growing company by The Sunday Times in 2024 and ranked second in its 2025 Tech list, Allica also topped Deloitte’s UK Fast 50 in 2023 and 2024, placing seventh in 2025. It has been recognised by both the Financial Times and Sifted as one of Europe’s fastest-growing businesses. Allica’s annual revenue growth makes it the fastest-growing UK fintech ever, with it breaking into yearly profitability in 2023 with a substantial balance sheet.
Briefcase
AI Powered Bookkeeping Platform
Managing invoices and receipts can be one of the most time consuming parts of running a business. That is why we partner with Briefcase, an AI powered bookkeeping platform that makes it easier to capture, organise and understand your financial documents.
Briefcase gives you several simple ways to submit your paperwork. You can photograph and send receipts through WhatsApp, forward supplier emails to your personal Briefcase address, or automatically redirect incoming documents from your existing email account. Its intelligent filtering identifies genuine invoices and receipts while keeping irrelevant emails and junk out.
The platform can also recognise and separate PDFs containing multiple invoices, detect potential duplicate documents and identify when an invoice and receipt relate to the same purchase. This helps keep your records accurate, reduces unnecessary administration and lowers the risk of paying a supplier twice.
By extracting detailed information about every transaction, Briefcase provides greater clarity over what your business is purchasing and where your money is going. This gives you better visibility across your profit and loss reports, supports more informed cash flow decisions and provides our team with the accurate information needed to offer proactive, valuable advice.
