Most finance brokers have spent their careers on one side of the desk. We have spent ours on both.
[Founder name(s)] built and ran [Probase-style software business reference: a bespoke software company serving UK firms for over X years], and own and operate [a hotel, bar and restaurant on Scotland's west coast]. We have bought commercial property, funded fit-outs, financed equipment, managed seasonal cash flow, employed staff and answered to lenders with our own signatures on the guarantees.
9ROK exists because we kept seeing the same gap: brokers who could name every product but had never run a business, and lenders whose forms assumed a tidy world that operators do not live in. We translate between the two.
One conversation, the whole market. We are independent, tied to no lender, and a member of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers. You get an honest indicative view within one working day: fundable or not, rough cost, realistic timeline. If a deal is not fundable, we say so, and tell you what would change that.
