What happens after I submit the online enquiry form?
Quick answer
After you submit our online enquiry form, our AI-driven matching system reviews your details and connects you with lenders or brokers who are most likely to be able to help. A member of the Best Business Loans team may contact you to clarify key points, and you will be shown next steps so you can request a Quick Quote, a Decision in Principle or an eligibility check. We are an independent introducer and do not provide loans or regulated advice; any formal offer comes from the lender selected.
Immediate processing and matching
Once you press submit our AI system securely parses the information you provided and extracts key attributes such as business type, turnover, loan purpose, and required amount. Within moments your profile is compared against lender and broker criteria in our network to identify matches that are actively lending to businesses like yours. This automated match narrows the market down to the most relevant providers so you save time and avoid irrelevant approaches.
Contact, clarification and privacy
If a potential match needs clarification a Best Business Loans specialist may contact you by phone or email to confirm details and update your submission; this helps us reduce delays when providers review your case. We only share personal or business data with lenders or brokers that are relevant to your enquiry and only with your consent, and we do not sell your data. You will also receive a clear note explaining how your information was used and who we contacted.
Decision in Principle, Quick Quote and eligibility checks
Matched lenders or brokers may offer a Quick Quote, an eligibility check, or a Decision in Principle (DIP) based on the information provided; these are usually indicative and non-binding and help you compare options quickly. A DIP can show likely terms and whether a full application is recommended, while a Quick Quote gives a fast estimate of pricing and structure for the requested finance. We encourage using these tools to narrow choices before proceeding to full applications and documentation.
Next steps, documentation and formal applications
If you decide to progress, the connected lender or broker will explain required documents such as business accounts, IDs, asset details, or invoices and will run formal credit and affordability checks as needed. Best Business Loans does not arrange or approve lending — the finance provider carries out underwriting and issues any formal offers, terms and repayment schedules. For specific asset funding needs you may be introduced to specialists, for example equipment finance providers via our dedicated page for equipment finance: https://bestbusinessloans.ai/loan/equipment-finance/.
Transparency, choice and compliance
Throughout the process we aim to be clear, fair and not misleading: we will tell you which organisation is receiving your details and whether they are regulated by the FCA. Best Business Loans is an independent introducer and does not give regulated financial advice; you remain responsible for accepting any offer and should read lender terms carefully. If you have concerns about a financial promotion or a lender’s conduct you can check FCA guidance or report concerns to the relevant regulator.
Key takeaways
Submitting the form begins a short, secure process where our AI matches your business to suitable lenders or brokers, someone may contact you to clarify details, and you will be offered Quick Quotes, DIPs or eligibility checks before any full application. We do not lend, we introduce — any formal loan offer comes from the provider. If you want to move faster, request a Quick Quote now and let our system show your best next options.
