Worked example · growth
A £350,000 growth facility: 3% on the first £250k (£7,500) + 2.5% on the remaining £100k (£2,500) = £10,000 gross. Less £1,500 retainer already paid = £8,500 net at completion.

The schedule
Independent advisory at a fixed fee schedule.
We are paid by you, not by lenders. That means we recommend the right lender for your deal, not the one that pays us the most. The same schedule applies to growth and acquisition finance, from £25,000 to £10m.
| Facility portion | Rate | Retainercredited at completion |
|---|---|---|
| First £250,000 | 3.00% | £500 |
| £250,001 – £500,000 | 2.50% | £1,500 |
| £500,001 – £1,000,000 | 2.00% | £2,500 |
| £1,000,001 – £5,000,000 | 1.50% | £3,500 |
| £5,000,001 – £10,000,000 | 1.25% | £5,000 |
Marginal-rate model: each percentage applies only to the portion of the facility within that band. No cliff edges, no bracket gaming.
Worked example · acquisition
A £1,000,000 acquisition facility: 3% on the first £250k (£7,500) + 2.5% on £250k–£500k (£6,250) + 2% on £500k–£1m (£10,000) = £23,750 gross. Less £2,500 retainer already paid = £21,250 net at completion.
About the retainer.
- Paid on signing the engagement letter.
- Credited in full against the success fee at completion.
- Non-refundable once advisory work begins.
- The success fee is only payable on drawdown. If all lenders decline, no success fee is charged. bizbritain carries that risk.
