Our story
About Acorn.finance
Founded in 1997 by father and son team Tom and Paul Thompson, Acorn Finance have long been one of the leading finance brokers in the small business and property sectors.
We’re a multi-award winning team with seven “best UK broker” awards in the last six years and have been featured on the BBC Inside Out programme to show best practice in the commercial lending sector.
Acorn’s specialist knowledge of small businesses marked us out as the “go to” broker for any trading business but especially those in the hospitality sector which resulted in Acorn Commercial Finance becoming the only finance provider asked to join the BIIAB (British Institute of Innkeeping Advisory Board).
We work harder to find the funding you need to thrive
Acorn.Finance (Acorn Commercial Finance previously) have been funding commercial and investment property since 1997.
As a small business just like you, the Acorn.finance team understands the needs and time pressures of the buy to let property investor, developer or business owner.
Our mission is to give every business owner, property investor or developer access to the finance they need to thrive and grow. In a broad and fragmented market with more lending sources than ever, it is no longer an option to rely on the products of just one lender for the life of a business, lenders are many and varied. Our role is to help you find the very best funding package to fill your needs, and to have the funding available to you, just when you need it. To do that we work across the whole of the finance market, from the high street banks and challenger banks through to crowdfunding providers (including our own) and sometimes private equity and businesses angel investors.
Whether you are growing your business or investment portfolio or just starting out then finance is of vital importance and getting the best deal can easily be the difference between growing or not or even failure. Our experts take time to understand your needs and aims in both the long and short term before recommending a product to you which we believe is the best one to achieve your aims. By taking that time to understand your needs we also work more closely with our lenders than most brokers, that means we have a market leading level of success with more applications going through to a successful completion and more of our clients go on to long-term success.

Funding options – property finance
Buy to let is still an attractive investment despite the changes to the tax regime. Getting the right buy-to-let mortgage is as important as finding the right property. Our experts can help you choose the right term, repayment option and make sure you’re getting the right type of mortgage for your needs.
Bridging Loans come in all shapes and sizes, Acorn.finance have a panel of virtually every lender in the UK market meaning we can guarantee to get you the best bridging finance for your needs.
From the speed of an auction purchase to arranging the purchase of an un-mortgageable property, our lending panel will come up with the loan you need, when you need it.
More experienced investors are improving their returns and looking to commercial property for the increased yield it can offer. Commercial Investment Mortgages can be more difficult to source and arrange as the market is much more complicated than for residential investments. The experts at Acorn.finance will guide you through the maze and arrange the best mortgage for your needs.
Another means for investors to improve their returns, as well as professional developers has been to buy low value property and refurbish or redevelop it. Acorn.finance have the experience and expertise to arrange the best funding for your project whether its;
- Ground up development
- Conversion or change of use
- Major refurbishment or extension
- Minor refurbishment
As the stricter underwriting rules have squeezed professional landlords you need the best advice to get the most out of your existing portfolio or to add more properties.
Our access to all the prime lenders in the sector means that working with Acorn.finance will give you the best commercial mortgage – guaranteed.
We have used Acorn.finance for over 20 years and can’t recommend them enough, very knowledgable, efficient, friendly and would definitely use them again
