FINANCE brokerage, Acorn Commercial Finance, based in Clifton Moor, York, claims to be leading the way for wannabe owners in the private sector to find the most advantageous and fully comprehensive guide to financing a property on the Internet.

From its office in James Nicholson Link, it has created two new websites, www.publoans.com and www.loans4care.com which will also encourage clients to enter details of the type and area of property they are looking for, so that property agents can respond with appropriate particulars, so quickening the process.

The business, run by father and son team, Tom and Paul Thompson, helps clients to buy all size of business, from a first small leasehold pub to a local free house, converting a care home or setting up a alternative therapy clinic. It advises on price negotiation and loan terms.

"We talk to hundreds of people each year who need finance within these sectors, and know what information they need to help them realise their business dream," said Paul.
