If you are a business owner looking for vehicle finance, stop scrolling and just ask for James at Tide.
Securing the business finance for our new company car (a Tesla Model 3) was incredibly straightforward, but where James truly proved his worth was on collection day. The actual lender made a massive administrative error and attached the £50,000 CHAPS payment to an old, cancelled order number instead of the current one.
I was physically stuck at the Tesla delivery hub in Manchester, dealing with a rigid "computer says no" automated system that refused to release the car to me. Instead of washing his hands of the situation because the paperwork was done, James stepped up entirely. He spent his entire morning fighting my corner, relentlessly bombarding Tesla's finance and customer service departments with emails, and pulling the exact banking paper trails I needed to force the dealership to hand over the keys.
It is incredibly rare to find a broker who actually cares what happens after the agreement is signed. James went above and beyond to fix a highly stressful nightmare that wasn't even his fault. Absolutely phenomenal, bulldog-like customer service. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend for any business…
Highly recommend for any business looking for funding options. Jack Spooner from the sales team at Tide made this process seamless and easy from start to finish and it couldn't of been easier or quicker to get what we were after. Thank you Jack!

Philip from Fnding Options by Tide was extremely professional, responsive and supportive throughout the entire funding process.
He took the time to clearly explain each step, was always available to answer questions, and made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and well managed.
The support came at exactly the right time for our business, and Philip’s guidance and efficiency made a real difference.
I would highly recommend both Philip and Funding Options to any business looking for reliable and well-structured finance support.
