When applying for commercial finance of any kind, the first place most businesses head is a comparison site. Ideal for the basic overview of what is on offer, but not always the best place to find an unbeatable deal.

This is because of the hundreds [**of commercial finance specialists operating in the UK**](https://www.ukpropertyfinance.co.uk/commercial-finance/how-does-it-work/) **,** around 50% do not offer their services directly to the public. Broker-introduced applications are the only applications they accept, highlighting the importance of independent broker support.

While an online comparison site may compare a number of deals from [major banks](https://www.financedigest.com/banks-oil-majors-lift-british-shares-higher.html "Banks, oil majors lift British shares higher"), an experienced broker can scour the market in its entirety on your behalf.  Thousands of potential options from hundreds of specialist [lenders – many of which do not appear on the UK High Street](https://www.financedigest.com/almost-40-of-alternative-lender-growth-streets-investors-are-millennials.html "Almost 40% of alternative lender Growth Street’s investors are millennials").

Irrespective of the type of commercial finance you need, there are at least five huge [benefits to working with an established and reputable broker:](https://www.financedigest.com/how-choosing-a-compliant-broker-benefits-traders.html "How Choosing a Compliant Broker Benefits Traders")

1. When you [approach any bank](https://www.financedigest.com/britains-co-op-bank-confirms-tsb-approach.html "Britain’s Co-op bank confirms TSB approach") or lender directly, you restrict yourself to their own limited range or products and services. This drastically reduces the [probability of finding the best possible deal on the market](https://www.financedigest.com/the-sepsis-therapeutics-market-to-see-through-the-probable-sea-change-through-digitization.html "The Sepsis Therapeutics Market to see through the probable sea change through digitization") to suit your requirements and your budget. In addition, it completely rules out the prospect of being offered honest and impartial information, with no [brand bias from the bank](https://www.financedigest.com/does-the-monzo-effect-mean-banks-will-need-to-rethink-brand-building.html "Does the ‘Monzo effect’ mean banks will need to rethink brand building?").

If there is a better deal to be found elsewhere, it is highly unlikely they will tell you this is the case.

2. The more lenders you include in your market comparison, the higher the likelihood of finding an unbeatable deal. Working with an independent broker means gaining access to an extensive panel of specialist lenders who do not [offer their services](https://www.financedigest.com/why-the-banking-industry-needs-to-offer-more-than-just-enticing-perks-and-subscription-services.html "Why the banking industry needs to offer more than just enticing perks and subscription services") directly to the public. Oftentimes, the only [way to access the best deals on the market is with the help and support](https://www.financedigest.com/5-ways-the-fs-industry-can-support-the-recovery.html "5 ways the FS industry can support the recovery") of a broker.

Even when using a typical online [comparison site](https://www.financedigest.com/compare-by-review-launch-niche-comparison-site-in-the-uk.html "Compare By Review Launch Niche Comparison Site In The UK"), you could be drastically reducing your chances of finding your ideal commercial loan.

3. [Brokers are hired](https://www.financedigest.com/reasons-why-you-should-hire-a-business-broker-to-sell-your-business.html "Reasons Why You Should Hire a Business Broker to Sell Your Business") to negotiate all aspects of the proposed contract on behalf of their clients. Consequently your broker will be able to negotiate more competitive rates of interest and lower overall borrowing costs on your loan using a [commercial finance calculator](https://www.ukpropertyfinance.co.uk/mortgages/calculator/commercial-mortgage-calculator/).

Again, specialist lenders [offer](https://www.financedigest.com/accountants-can-add-even-value-offering-clients-new-breakeven-cis-calculators-downloadable-app.html "Accountants Can Add Even More Value by Offering Clients New Breakeven and CIS Calculators from Their Own Downloadable App") broker-introduced clients more cost-effective deals than clients who approach them directly.

4. [Working with an independent broker is guaranteed to streamline](https://www.financedigest.com/uk-based-bitfount-raises-5m-seed-to-streamline-collaboration-between-organisations-working-with-sensitive-datasets.html "UK-based Bitfount raises M seed to streamline collaboration between organisations working with sensitive datasets."), simplify and speed up all aspects of the application process. This can be particularly useful if time is a factor, as the conventional [approach often proves disproportionately time](https://www.financedigest.com/anti-money-laundering-time-to-take-a-new-approach.html "ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING: TIME TO TAKE A NEW APPROACH?") consuming.

Your [broker will guide you through every step of the application](https://www.financedigest.com/smartr365-launches-mortgage-kanban-workflow-tool-smooth-mortgage-application-tracking-brokers.html "Smartr365 launches ‘MortgageKanban’ workflow tool to smooth mortgage application tracking for brokers") and ensure all of your paperwork is in order, prior to submission.

5. Last up, your broker will also provide you with a comprehensive overview of the various options available, so as to help you choose the ideal product to [suit your requirements](https://www.financedigest.com/thomson-reuters-announces-suite-of-reference-data-capabilities-to-help-financial-industry-meet-mifid-ii-transparency-and-reporting-requirements.html "Thomson Reuters Announces Suite of Reference Data Capabilities to Help Financial Industry Meet MiFID II Transparency and Reporting Requirements"). There are dozens of commercial [loans and financial products available for businesses](https://www.financedigest.com/1-in-3-uk-businesses-looking-for-finance-are-finding-it-harder-to-get-a-loan.html "1 in 3 UK businesses looking for finance are finding it harder to get a loan") – each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Rather than taking the risk of ending up with a substandard product with elevated borrowing costs, it is better to enlist broker support with someone such as [UK Property Finance](https://www.iconquer.com/portfolio/uk-property-finance/) and carefully consider every available option.
