Minimum turnover, advance and fees are as published on each provider's own website, checked between 1 November 2026 and 11 November 2026. "Not published" means we read the provider's own pages and it gives no figure. None of these 5 providers publishes its fees: each prices per facility. Only Ultimate Finance gives a setup time on its website ("within one week"); the others don't publish one. Touch Financial is a broker, not a lender: the figures depend on the lender you are matched with. Ratings are our own view, not a figure from the provider (how we rate providers).
