Provide Finance launches a new era for specialist finance

06 October 2022

Pitch 4 Finance has relaunched as Provide Finance, heralding a new era for sourcing and securing specialist finance.

Having recently been named Digital Broker of the Year by the NACFB, Pitch 4 Finance was already gaining a reputation an industry game changer, with a growing number of intermediary firms and distributors, using the platform to source and secure specialist finance solutions.

Provide builds on this reputation, with improved design and usability. The platform features a panel of more than 200 lenders that specialise in commercial mortgages, mortgages for residential investment properties, bridging finance, property development and refurbishments, HMO lending and business finance.

The platform is free to use, allowing brokers to research the best lending solution for their clients, submit enquiries and make applications, which can prove particularly valuable in the current environment with rates and criteria changing frequently. In addition, Provide has a team of expert advisers on hand to offer help and guidance every step of the way, either over the phone or using the online chat facility.

Unlike standard sourcing platforms, Provide recognises the bespoke nature of many specialist finance enquiries. Borrowing requirements are then matched instantly with lenders that can lend against their particular criteria and those lenders are invited to propose terms for the loan. Brokers can then chat directly with lenders that match their enquiry through the platform and can quickly agree terms to process their loan.

Miranda Khadr, Founder of Provide Finance, says:

“In a market where brokers are trying to keep customers calm, finding the best variable and fixed rate propositions has never been more important as well as ensuring that the everchanging lenders criteria is checked so that applications are as successful as possible. At Provide we aim to take that work away from brokers so they can focus on clients and their needs and looking after their customers in uncertain times.

“Pitch 4 Finance was launched in 2020 to make securing finance a quick, easy, and transparent process and we have built a strong following and award-winning reputation in a short time. But we haven’t rested on our laurels. We have also spent the time getting to know what brokers expect from a finance platform, how best to deliver it, and developing our proposition.

“In specialist finance, the devil is often in the detail, and we have learned first-hand how to make complex cases more straightforward, along with what makes brokers excited, frustrated, or surprised. We’ve delivered funding solutions worth more than £300m for borrowers from different backgrounds, for different reasons, with different expectations. And we’ve learned how we could be the best finance platform for everyone.

“Provide is the result of all this learning and development and it gives brokers the ability to connect with hundreds of lenders in an instant, so that their ideas and applications seen by as many people as possible in order to get the best choice of rates. In addition to this, we support our cutting-edge technology with personalised care, providing expert support from experienced advisers who are on hand to talk through difficult cases and work together with brokers to identify a solution.

“We looked at our name and realised Pitch 4 no longer aligned with our values. Pitching is hard work, and we’re meant to make brokers’ lives easier. So, from now on we’ll go by Provide. Because we are dedicated to providing brokers and their clients with the best resources, the best support, the best finance solutions, at the best possible rates.”
