Our York Story

Acorn Finance isn’t just another broker; we are part of York’s business history. Founded right here in 1997 by a father-and-son team, we spent our first 19 years trading from our local headquarters, helping neighbours and fellow business owners turn their ambitions into reality.

Although we moved our HQ to London in 2016 to expand our funding network, our heart remains in Yorkshire. We understand the unique landscape of this city because we lived it. From the cobbled streets of the Shambles to the business hubs of Clifton Moor and Monks Cross, we know what makes York businesses tick.

Fueling York’s Economy: Who We Help

We have successfully secured funding for countless businesses across the city and surrounding vales and dales. No sector is off-limits.

Hospitality & Tourism

Funding for historic pubs, boutique hotels, guest houses, and B&Bs catering to York’s millions of visitors.

Food & Retail

Helping artisan bakeries, cafes, and independent retailers expand their premises and buy new equipment.

Logistics & Storage

Capital for removal companies and storage facilities to upgrade fleets and expand warehousing capacity.

Agriculture & Rural

Supporting local farms with diversification projects, from machinery finance to launching luxury glamping sites.

Property Development

Financing for residential and commercial property developments, refurbishments, and portfolio expansion.

The Acorn Advantage (The "FUNDED" System)

We bring the best of both worlds: the personal touch of a local family business and the power of a London-based brokerage with access to over 400 lenders.

We use our proprietary FUNDED system to ensure you get the right deal, not just the first deal.
