Deals that other funders can’t offer by lending our own money to customers we know and trust

Unlike many finance brokers, we offer something unique which is the ability to lend our own money to customers we know and trust. This gives us the flexibility to structure deals that other funders simply can’t offer. While we still act as a broker, having access to our own book funds means we can support businesses that might not fit the standard automated approval process. Every application is reviewed on its individual merits; we take the time to understand your situation, ask the right questions, and tailor a solution that works. Our goal is to bring a personal touch back to finance and by lending from our own business funds, we’re doing just that.

More than a broker

With access to our own money, we can say ‘yes’ when others can’t.

Funding with a human touch

Offering funding that fits your unique story.

Types of Finance

Asset Refinance

Asset refinance is a strategic business financing approach for companies. It frees up capital locked into existing assets by taking out a new loan against their value.

Cashflow Finance

Our flexible financing options are crafted to align payments seamlessly with your business cycles, ensuring that you have the liquidity you need precisely when needed.

Contract Hire

If you’re looking for a new vehicle, consider contract hire – and avoid the need of finding a hefty deposit.

Hire Purchase

Avoid up-front costs, and pay regular monthly payments with a Hire Purchase agreement.

Invoice Finance

Release cash back into your business by borrowing against the money owed to you from customers.

PCP

If you are looking to finance a vehicle, PCP is a great way to help keep costs down – as it gives a guaranteed figure at the end of an agreement – meaning you can opt to return it or simply purchase at the end.

Tax Liability Finance

Spread your corporate tax liabilities over a period of time, helping to reduce the impact on your business cashflow.

VAT Deferrals

Spread the burden of VAT payments due by deferring payments over 6 or 12 months.

My experiences with the team at STAR have been amazing on both occasions. With funding being so crucial to helping my family and their business, the team's support in getting what we needed was second to none. Shout out to Shannon and Tracey, who were so responsive, and kept me up to date every step of the way till everything was finalised, which helped keep my anxiety at bay! They are brilliant.
