About us
Who we are and how we support organisations across the UK
Pearl Lemon Capital is part of the Pearl Lemon Group, an organisation involved in consulting, accountancy, property services, technology, and wider business support. Our finance division was created to help SMEs, developers, and commercial operators present their funding needs clearly and secure the facilities required to progress with confidence.
We work with companies of varying size—from smaller firms seeking equipment or working capital, to organisations managing multi-site operations or large-scale property projects. Our combined experience across business operations and property allows us to understand the challenges borrowers face and the level of clarity lenders expect during a funding review.
Our mission is to provide organised guidance that helps businesses and developers present strong, well-prepared funding requests. We support borrowers with practical steps and clear expectations throughout the process.

Our Process
A structured path from review to completion
Our process supports businesses and developers by breaking the funding journey into manageable stages and providing clarity from the outset.

Key points:
- Review of business or project goals
- Assessment of core documents and background
- Early guidance on feasibility and next steps
2. Assessment and Preparation
During this stage we examine viability, lender criteria, cost structures, and any areas that may require clarification. Preparation is important, as it ensures your request is presented in a clear, organised way that aligns with lender expectations.
Key points:
- Review of viability and affordability
- Identification of supporting documents

Key points:
- Breakdown of suitable funding pathways

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions organisations often ask when reviewing funding options
Below are answers to common queries from businesses, developers, and commercial borrowers seeking finance through our lending network.
Do you work with businesses that have limited trading history?
Yes. Some lenders accept newer businesses depending on projected revenue, director experience, and supporting information. We review the details first to confirm what may be possible.
Can you help if our business has irregular cashflow?
Yes. Facilities such as working capital, revolving credit, and invoice finance can support businesses with uneven income patterns. We assess your statements to determine suitable options.
Do you assist with asset refinance to release capital?
Yes. If your business owns equipment or vehicles outright, some lenders allow those assets to be refinanced to provide additional liquidity.
Are financial statements always required for a business loan?
Most lenders require accounts and bank statements, but documentation varies by facility type. We outline what you’ll need at the start of the review.
Can you support businesses outside major cities or within rural areas?
Yes. We work with organisations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland regardless of location.
Do you assist with funding for expansion into new sites or regions?
Yes. Business loans, commercial finance, or asset facilities may be suitable depending on the structure of the expansion and your financial profile.
Are there options for businesses that prefer not to provide security?
Yes. Unsecured facilities are available in some cases, though criteria may differ from secured lending. We help determine which route fits your situation.
Can you arrange meetings with lenders during the process?
Yes. Where appropriate, we facilitate communication or calls with lenders to clarify points or move the application forward.
Do you support specialist property asset classes such as PBSA or industrial schemes?
Yes. We work on a range of property types including PBSA, industrial, logistics, mixed-use, and commercial conversions.
How quickly can a facility be completed?
Timeframes depend on the type of finance, documentation, and lender availability. Short-term facilities may move faster, while property-related funding may require additional steps such as valuation or legal review.
