Mackenzie Commercial Finance: a UK broker with our office in Scotland

Mackenzie Commercial Finance is an asset finance broker, not a lender. From our office in Scotland, we arrange asset finance, asset refinance, hire purchase, finance lease and business loans. We work with businesses in the Highlands and Islands, across Scotland and the whole UK.

We work with over 120 lenders. We are a member of the NACFB, the trade body for commercial finance brokers. Our FCA number is 1058283. You can check it on the FCA register. We started trading at the end of July 2026.

Our roots are in the Highlands. Our Business Development team meets people in person, across the Highlands and the rest of Scotland. They meet businesses, suppliers and introducers (people like accountants who send clients to us).

You can apply and sign at a time that suits you, not just nine to five. Donnie, our in house AI agent, is here at any hour.

Daily flights from the Highlands reach the main UK cities. So we can be in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow or Stornoway at short notice. That might be when a lender wants a signature in ink, or an asset needs a check.

How does working with a finance broker work?

  1. Apply online with Donnie, our in house AI agent, or call us. Applying is not a credit search.
  2. A person in our team reads your application. We get back to you within a day.
  3. If you want to go ahead, you sign a consent form. Then we run a light credit check on the company, often known as a soft search. We choose the lenders that suit your case, and send each one a full written case, called a proposal. Each lender then does its own credit check.
  4. We tell you what the lenders say. If finance is approved, we send you a quote with the figures. Then we take you through signing the finance documents.
  5. If you are buying an asset, you arrange to collect it from the supplier. For a loan or a refinance, the money is paid into your bank account.

Questions about us

What does a finance broker do?

A broker finds the lender for you. A lender lends its own money. We are a broker, not a lender. We look at your case and send it to the lenders that suit it.

How many lenders do you work with?

Over 120. They include names most businesses know, like Lloyds Bank, HSBC and Lombard (part of NatWest). They also include well known specialist lenders, like Haydock, Simply and Close Brothers.

Will applying affect my credit score?

Applying to us is not a credit search. If you go ahead, we do a light credit check on the company, often known as a soft search. Each lender then has its own way. We can ask a lender first if this worries you.

How are you paid?

There is no fee to apply. The lender pays us a commission, only once your finance is in place. You see it before you sign.

What should I ask any broker?

Ask if they are on the FCA register. Ask how they are paid. Ask how many lenders they use. Ask who you will speak to.
