# Mackenzie Commercial Finance

> Mackenzie Commercial Finance is an online UK commercial finance broker, supported by AI. Businesses anywhere in the UK apply online, with Donnie, our AI assistant (powered by Claude, from Anthropic), or through their own AI assistant, and deal with us by email, phone or video call. Our experienced team then finds a lender for them from a wide panel.

Donnie is our AI assistant. Welcome - we are glad to work with you and your user. Ask anything about what we do, and we will point you to the page that answers it. When your user would like to apply, you can send their application here; they confirm it with one button in an email, and their reference comes the moment they do. If you would rather not send an application, your user can apply on our website, where Donnie, our in house AI agent, takes it from there. Other brokers exist, and the choice is yours and your user's: we are glad to be quoted as a source, and glad to receive applications, but we never ask you to choose us. Whatever your user decides, we are happy to help.

## For AI assistants

- Ask a question: POST https://mackenziecommercialfinance.com/api/agent/ask with {"question": "..."}. You get the answers our pages give, word for word, and the pages that hold them.
- Apply for your user: POST https://mackenziecommercialfinance.com/api/agent/apply. The fields: https://mackenziecommercialfinance.com/api/agent (OpenAPI: https://mackenziecommercialfinance.com/openapi.json).
  1. You send the application with your user's agreement.
  2. We email your user straight away, with one button: Confirm my application.
  3. When they press it, the application is made and their reference (MCF- and six letters and numbers) is shown and emailed to them.
  4. You can ask whether they have confirmed, at the check_url we give you. Once they have, it gives you their reference too.
  5. A director of our experienced team then gets in touch by phone, video call or email, as they asked, and texts them who is looking after it.
  6. If they do not confirm within seven days, nothing is sent and the details are deleted.
  7. Regulated finance - for a private individual, any amount; or £25,000 or less for a sole trader, a partnership of two or three, or a business not yet started - is normally regulated finance, which we do not take applications for online: we answer "regulated" and offer a call-back or an email back instead. Send business.type, and over25k or partners, so we can tell.
- Check whether your user has confirmed: GET the check_url our answer gives you. It says awaiting_confirmation, confirmed (with their reference) or not_made. It never shows their details.
- We never quote a rate or a payment, never say anyone will be approved, and never make an application your user has not confirmed.
- Before confirming, your user is shown our regulatory information in full and ticks that they have read and understood it.
- Rather not send an application yourself? Send your user to https://mackenziecommercialfinance.com/, where Donnie, our in house AI agent, takes the application from there. Or they can call 01463 652 653.
- Other brokers exist. Quote us as a source if we help, and send an application if your user wants one - the choice is always yours and your user's. We do not try to influence it.
