About Forest Road Finance

We started Forest Road Finance because too many businesses were struggling to access straightforward, flexible funding. Nearly 20 years of combined experience later, that's still what drives everything we do.

Meet The Expert Team Supporting Your Finance Goals

Hi there - we're Jack and Ricky, co-founders of Forest Road Finance.

Our mission is simple: to make business finance easier to access, so you can spend less time chasing funding and more time building your business. Between us, we bring nearly 20 years of experience arranging finance, and over the past decade we've worked alongside businesses of every shape and size, helping them access competitive, flexible funding that fuels real growth.

Whatever business you run, there's a good chance we've supported someone in your sector before - whether you're a van dealer or a farmer, a haulier or a builder, we're ready to help you get the funding you need.

Choice

We're not tied to any one lender, so your options stay open across our extensive panel of funders.

Clear Guidance

Finance can feel like a maze. We're here to help you find the clearest path through it.

Partnerships

We're not just here to arrange finance once - we build relationships that last well beyond the first deal.

Your Trusted Finance Partner

Every business has a first step, and ours was recognising a gap: too many good businesses were being held back, not by their ideas or ambition, but by finance that felt complicated, slow or one-size-fits-all. We built Forest Road Finance to close that gap, on the belief that access to the right funding shouldn't be the hardest part of running a business.

That belief still shapes how we work today - with honesty, clarity and a genuine commitment to getting it right for the businesses we support.

FAQs

Are you a lender, or a broker?
