Great friendly team

Great friendly team, high quality of service provided. Used them multiple times now and they've always been good to work with. Only thing stopping the 5* was delays in the finance due to some paperwork errors their side.

Excellent support and a real solution when it mattered

I had a great experience working with Charles & Dean during a recent refinance for my business.

From the outset, George was professional, responsive, and genuinely focused on finding a solution that actually worked for my situation — not just pushing a quick deal. Given the complexity of my case, I had faced a number of challenges elsewhere, but George took the time to understand the full picture and structured a facility that significantly improved my cashflow and allowed me to consolidate multiple lenders into one manageable repayment.

Communication throughout was clear and consistent, and I always felt well-informed at every stage of the process. The speed at which everything was handled was also impressive, especially given the urgency involved.

A big thank you to George and the wider team for their support — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charles & Dean to other business owners looking for a practical and well-structured funding solution.

Will was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was very quick to reply to any questions I had and gave me a full range of options. No question was too silly and nothing was too much to ask. Really recommend Will from Charles & Dean. Thanks for all the help!

Still get cold calls regarding finance…

Still get cold calls regarding finance for expansion... Touched base early Feb, one meeting with David, expressed we were interested and told we could work together, left in the dark ever since back end of Feb. - info was sent in by end of February, now into late April with no further requests/comms after reaching out and also calling. - If it's not the right info, it needs to be communicated to the customer whats required as other lenders have had no issues, radio silence is frustrating when your expanding. We have had offers since from other lenders and have moved with someone else. Don't leave reviews often but the problem here is that if we were smaller, and assumed these guys would pull through, we would have all our cards waiting for, well, nothing, and this costs time and money for smaller firms for instance. It could prove damaging so felt it necessary to put this up. Closure, if somethings off the table, its a professional courtesy. Secondly, updates help and influences choices made internally outside of deals getting over the line. The fact I got a call yesterday from the same company asking if I need funding, and prior to that 3 weeks ago, is frustrating to say the least. Not a good service.
