Business finance in Newcastle upon Tyne
CoreFi is a commercial finance broker helping Newcastle upon Tyne businesses, principally limited companies, arrange funding across asset finance, development finance and invoice finance. We package your deal, approach lenders whose criteria fit, and manage it to completion. Rates and terms always depend on your business and lender appetite.
Newcastle upon Tyne carries a broader economy than many people outside the North East realise. The digital and tech cluster around Newcastle Helix and the wider city centre has grown steadily; offshore and subsea energy engineering runs along the Tyne and out toward the river mouth; financial back-office and professional services fill the office stock around Grey Street and the Quayside; and retail anchors the centre through Eldon Square and the independent trade of Grainger Town. Beyond the city itself, the North East manufacturing base, including the Nissan supply chain further south in Wearside, shapes a good deal of local demand for equipment and working-capital funding.
CoreFi is a commercial finance broker that arranges funding for businesses across Newcastle and Tyneside, principally limited companies. We take time to understand what you are trying to do, package the deal properly, and approach the lenders whose criteria and appetite actually fit. You deal with one point of contact rather than filling in the same application several times over. Any rates, loan-to-value figures or timelines mentioned on this page are indicative and illustrative only; what you are offered depends on your business and on individual lender appetite.

Where lenders come back with interest, we bring you the indicative terms in plain English and explain the trade-offs. Any figures are illustrative until a lender issues a formal offer. You decide whether to proceed, and we manage the deal to completion.
The finance Newcastle businesses actually ask us for
A software firm at Newcastle Helix smoothing out contract-payment gaps does not need the same product as a subsea engineering business on the river buying fabrication kit, or a developer converting an office block off Grey Street into apartments. We work across Tyneside's real economy: digital and tech around the Helix and the city centre; offshore, subsea and energy engineering along the Tyne toward Walker and the river mouth; financial back-office, legal and accountancy services on the Quayside and around Grainger Town; retail and hospitality through Eldon Square, Northumberland Street and the independent quarter; and manufacturing and logistics feeding the wider North East supply base, including firms that supply into Nissan in Sunderland. The products we most often place for Newcastle firms are asset finance, development finance and invoice finance. Understanding your sector helps us present the case in the terms a lender expects.
Why use a broker rather than approach lenders yourself
Approaching lenders directly means repeating your story, learning each lender's criteria the hard way, and often hearing no for reasons you could not have known in advance. A broker sits on the other side of that. We hold relationships and criteria detail across a whole-of-market panel of specialist UK lenders, so we can steer your enquiry toward the ones whose appetite fits your sector, size and security position first. In Newcastle that matters, because the local mix runs from asset-heavy engineering and manufacturing to service firms with strong recurring revenue but little to secure against, and lenders read those two very differently. It does not mean a guaranteed outcome: no broker can promise approval or a particular rate, because the decision and pricing sit with the lender and depend on your business.
What drives a funding decision
It helps to be clear about what a lender underwrites, because it is not marketing, it is credit. Lenders look at your trading history, the strength and predictability of your cash flow, any security on offer, the sector you operate in and the purpose of the funds. A profitable Quayside consultancy with clean recurring fees is a different proposition from an early-stage Helix venture with limited trading history, and a subsea engineering firm with hard, resaleable plant is different again. Lenders price and structure accordingly. Our job is to present your case honestly and in full, to the lenders most likely to say yes, and to be straight with you about what is realistic for a Newcastle business. CoreFi is a trading name of JG Core Ltd; we are a broker, not a lender, and we do not decide outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of Newcastle and Tyneside?
Yes. We work with businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyneside area, from the city centre, Quayside and Helix to Gateshead and the North East supply base. The lenders we match you to will confirm whether they fund your specific sector, location and security.
Do you lend the money yourselves?
No. We are a commercial finance broker, not a lender. Whether finance is offered, and on what terms, depends on your business and each lender's appetite at the time. We help present your case well, but the decision sits with the lender.
What will it cost me?
It costs nothing to start the conversation. On many commercial deals the lender pays a commission to the broker, and where a fee applies we tell you before you commit. We are transparent about how we are paid on your deal.
Which businesses can you help?
We work principally with limited companies borrowing for business or commercial-property purposes across Newcastle and the North East. The lender confirms the eligible borrower structure for their particular product as part of their assessment.
