About us
One Stop Business Finance was founded in July 2014 by Andrew Mackenzie with a clear purpose: to provide responsible, solution-led commercial finance that helps UK businesses move forward with confidence.
From day one, our focus has been on supporting SMEs with business funding that reflects the reality of how businesses operate. We know that time matters, opportunities don’t wait, and funding should enable progress rather than slow it down.
A more human approach to business funding.
Many SMEs come to us after experiencing long delays, rigid criteria and impersonal processes elsewhere. That approach can hold businesses back at the very moments when clarity and momentum are needed most.
At One Stop Business Finance, we believe commercial finance should make life easier, not harder. Our approach is practical, transparent and relationship-led. We take the time to understand each business properly, looking beyond the numbers to see the ambition, context and potential behind every funding request.
Built on experience, driven by partnership
Our team brings deep experience in SME finance and commercial lending, with an entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine desire to find solutions. From the first conversation through to completion and beyond, businesses benefit from clear communication, local decision-making and support that continues long after funding is in place.
We don’t see ourselves as one-off lenders. We aim to build long-term partnerships with the businesses and advisers we work with. Every client has a dedicated point of contact, ensuring a personal service, consistent support and a trusted funding partner they can rely on as their business evolves. That support doesn’t stop once the deal is done. We guarantee every client regular check-ins throughout their loan period to ensure they have everything they need to realise their ambitions.

What our clients say
"Thank you for supporting us with a revolving credit facility. This has allowed us to unlock significant sales of high-value machinery, which we would have otherwise had to turn down.
"The flexibility of the loan has helped us to really put our company on the map."
