At Bluestone we are committed to your success, whether you're a sole trader, running an SME or seeking finance for a multinational corporation.
Formerly known as Bluestone Leasing, we are an independent, award-winning team of finance professionals with more than 25 years of industry expertise and experience behind us. We take pride in our ethical and consultative approach when securing finance to unlock your organisation's potential.
We make things simple, move quickly, offer exceptional value and make funding happen where others can't.
All our clients receive a dedicated account manager who will take the time to meet with you - whether that's at your place, our offices, or virtually - to understand your organisation's unique challenges and goals before making any recommendations.
We are transparent about all aspects of the finance application process and believe it is vital that you understand exactly what you are signing up to - there's no 'small print' or hidden agenda. We will only ever arrange finance that is affordable for you and that will help you achieve both your short and long-term goals.
Originally operating as Wyse Leasing North and then Bluestone Leasing, our core team have specialised in commercial finance for over 25 years helping thousands of organisations during that time, so have a deep understanding of what it takes to maximise your organisation's potential through finance.
While many other finance brokers work on behalf of third party investors (trying to deploy a particular investor’s funds), we are completely independent. This means you will benefit from impartial guidance and bespoke finance solutions, not just for this project, but for your wider financial strategy.
We have access to one of the largest funding panels in the UK. We'll take your project to the funders best suited to your circumstances and position your application using our expertise in securing finance; all this saves you time and money, and improving the likelihood that your application will be accepted.
We can finance a wide range of assets (and complex projects that include different asset types) alongside effective cash flow solutions such as loans and invoice finance.
We put our clients first, ensuring they receive the most seamless and efficient customer experience from making an initial enquiry, through to the end of their agreement and beyond. To do this, we make sure we have advanced systems to support them, including our revolutionary Bluestone portal, which enables you to get quick quotes and submit applications quickly online, for your own business, or your customers, whenever and wherever you are.
With Bluestone at their sides, people realise long held ambitions. They build businesses and organisations that make a difference. Whether they provide services or create products that solve problems, they help others.
When an organisation grows through our ethical finance solutions, the people at its heart can support their families, raise their children, make memories with friends, travel the world, improve their communities, and support causes close to their hearts.
Bluestone is committed to remaining an independently owned company so that we can continue to put people above profit in this way, channelling decades of experience, expertise, and effort into the success of the people and organisations we meet.
We will do this in an environment that is professional, supportive, friendly, and respectful, in ways that are stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. We understand that without the unique talents, skills, and personalities of every Bluestone team member, we are nothing.
