About us

A fintech business built around commercial finance.

We develop technology and services that improve how commercial finance is accessed, managed and delivered.

Our purpose

Make commercial finance work better.

Commercial finance depends on relationships and judgement, yet much of the work around each case still happens across disconnected systems. Information gets re-keyed, evidence is scattered and progress is hard to see.

Business Finance Market exists to close that gap: building software that connects the broker’s workflow, and offering practical brokerage support to businesses that need funding.

Business model

Two brands, each with a clear role.

Xova · Software

A software platform offered to UK commercial finance brokerages. Brokerages use Xova to run onboarding, compliance, CRM, workflow, documents, application packs and reporting in one place.

Finance Nation · Brokerage

A commercial finance brokerage that helps businesses, property developers and investors find suitable funding from a panel of lenders. Finance Nation is a credit broker, not a lender.

Technology focus

Software first.

  • One connected record

    Information entered once and used from onboarding through to reporting.

  • Compliance in the flow

    Checks attached to stages, with evidence captured as work happens.

  • Open by design

    An API-first approach so the platform fits alongside existing tools.

  • Grounded in practice

    Product decisions informed by real brokerage workflows.
