The finance sector is undergoing rapid transformation as we watch the power of automation in action. Operational inefficiencies, delayed responses, and clunky processes are no longer just frustrating, they’re holding businesses back. Today's business owners expect more from their financial providers and brokers.
In an age of AI and automation, expectations are higher than ever. The British Business Bank’s SME Equity Tracker recently reported that AI-related deals on average are 40% larger than the rest of the UK equity market. It’s clear, technology is driving smarter, faster decisions. And if you’re still managing finance the old way through back-and-forth emails, clunky PDFs, and missed updates then you’re missing out.
Whether you're sourcing essential equipment, upgrading infrastructure, or simply looking for a better way to manage business funding, these delays aren’t just often inconvenient, they can be costly.
The Portal integrates directly with a growing number of UK funders via real-time API connections including Novuna, Siemens, Investec, Quantum Funding and more. These integrations allow for real-time quote generation, application submissions, and instant decisions in principle, where supported. This removes the need for manual processing, reduces delays, and gives businesses greater visibility throughout the funding journey.
The Bluestone Portal was developed by our team to address common issues in the traditional finance processes, and to provide businesses with a secure digital platform that connects businesses, brokers, and funders one platform.
Instead of relying on email chains, PDFs and phone calls, the Bluestone Portal enables users to:
Our collaboration with Novuna means users can receive quotes and credit decisions in seconds, as the Portal communicates directly with Novuna’s systems to validate application data and return responses instantly. This integration model is being rolled out across additional funders, creating a truly digital, unified finance experience. Our team have worked hard to shift from disconnected systems to a platform-based model, where all activity is central and synchronised.
