About us

About us.

Kingsway Finance began life as a brokerage back in 1995. Since then, the company has grown to become an independent funder in its own right, helping SMEs across the UK.

Working in partnership with brokers, Kingsway are renowned for their approachability and adaptability, offering more than money.

The Kingsway team are here to help you every step of the way, whether that’s with advice prior to submitting proposals, or assistance with documentation to make the pay-out process as simple as possible.

In December 2018, Kingsway Finance became part of the Praetura Group’s Lending Division (along with Praetura Asset Finance, Praetura Commercial Finance, Praetura Invoice Finance and Zodeq).

Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it.

See what some of our brokers say about us…

My team and I have been very impressed with Kingsway. Whilst they have their set criteria, it doesn’t stop us running unusual enquiries by them to see if they’ll look at it. The key for me is that they come back quickly either way, and always with flexibility and good reasons why not. That’s refreshing and appreciated, and is why we keep coming back.

“If there’s anything I’m not sure about, I’m able to pick up the phone and have a chat with them. So they’re really easy to deal with.”

Cathy Hyland

Operations Manager at Acorn Business Finance
