Why I do this and why it matters
I spent ten years in accountancy practice, working closely with SME owners every day. Then I ran a manufacturing business myself for six years and experienced first hand what it means to need the right finance and struggle to find it.
That experience stays with me. It is the reason I built this firm.
I have now spent over 20 years in commercial finance, arranging more than £3 billion for UK businesses across every major product type and sector. I chaired the NACFB, the national trade body for commercial finance brokers for over a decade.
But what drives me is not the volume. It is the conviction that too many businesses that deserve better are being let down by a market that too often puts its own interests first.
That is what I built Goodman Corporate Finance to address. And it is what I work on every day.

Finance For Forces
If you have served in the armed forces and you are now building or running a business, you deserve support from someone who understands your background and takes your ambition seriously.
Finance for Forces was built to provide that, practical, commercially serious support for veterans, serving personnel, and the wider forces community seeking business finance.
Female Founder Finance
Female founders are consistently underserved by a market that misreads risk, undervalues potential, and provides inadequate routes to capital.
Female Founder Finance exists to address a practical commitment to making the market work better for the businesses it too often overlooks.
