Welcome to Orca Finance!
If you run a business in the UK and ever feel like the world of finance is too complicated or just out of reach, you’re in the right place.
Our aim is simple: to open the door to finance for businesses like yours so you can grow, thrive, and achieve all of your goals.
Our goal is to develop Orca Finance to be the most recognisable independent brand offering flexible and simple finance solutions for SME’s across the UK.
To ensure that all businesses large and small get access to the finance they need to maximise their opportunities for growth and success.
We’re all about helping awesome businesses run by great people. Especially those of you who are out there making a difference and building a thriving purpose driven and people centric organisation in your own community. Whether you’re firing up a start-up or keeping the wheels turning in an established company, if you’ve got a purpose and a plan, we’re here to make sure funding isn’t an obstacle.
Think about Orcas for a moment – they’re pretty magnificent, right? Elegant, powerful, and they stick together. Well, that’s precisely the vibe we want to bring to the world of business finance!
But we didn’t call our business Orca Finance just because it sounds cool – we share many values and traits together…
Just like our namesakes we are curious about our environment, and we’re genuinely interested in you as a person and your business story.
Orcas have their way of communicating, and so do we. We take your unique story and present it to our finance partners in a way that makes them eager to support you.
The better we understand you and your business, the more effectively we can work for you. It’s all about building a solid relationship where you can openly share your needs and plans with us so we can work together towards your success.
We believe in supporting local businesses and being a part of your team. Expect us to call in, chat, and immerse ourselves in what you do. It’s all about people first and making an impact in the places we live and work.
Know that you’re in safe hands when you work with us. We’re a business that’s part of a network of brokers lending almost £1.7b a year and we’re members of the NACFB, and have the trust of over 100 lenders, ready to help fund businesses like yours.
Like Orcas navigating the ocean, we navigate the finance world with expertise, creativity, and determination. We’re here to find solutions and get you what you need to succeed.
Marc’s the main Orca on the block, with nearly 3 decades of experience in the finance and leasing sector. He knows a thing or two about sales, marketing, growing and selling businesses too. Following spells working at firms such as Haydock Finance, CitiBank and Blackhorse, Marc more recently formed and built a vehicle and asset finance business which was ultimately sold to green energy solutions specialist Greenarc in 2022. After a short spell integrating the business into the new ownership Marc is now back to his roots in the North West, working with clients directly and supporting business growth through innovative finance. Marc is a firm believer in a people first approach and that a purpose driven team with lots of support and passion can achieve anything.
Marc loves an audience and would list public speaking as a secret skill!
Communication! It’s everything isn’t it. The best ideas in the world mean nothing if you cant articulate them and take people with you. Oh, and being curious too – it’s through those deep conversations the magic happens!
Rob joined the Pod almost immediately and brings a wealth of marketing and business development experience. Having worked client side in marketing roles for over 30 years and then more recently in senior business development roles he understands how important it is to build relationships and communicate with business owners.
Speaking at events and networking across the Greater Manchester area Rob has become well known in the Manchester business community for being full of energy and enthusiasm for whatever task he undertakes.
Straight talking Lancashire lad who tells it as it is. Oh, and a little OCD…….or so Marc says.
Relationships. It’s so important to get on with people, people buy from people. You must trust the people you’re working with and know that they are acting in your best interests.
