For many businesses, success in 2026 will not simply be about working harder – but about working smarter.
At First Business Finance, we believe that using finance cleverly and strategically can unlock opportunity, improve cashflow, and give your business the flexibility it needs to thrive. While the right funding solution can be a powerful tool when aligned to a wider business strategy, smart business in 2026 will consider mitigating risk, as well as driving growth.
A Smarter Way to Protect What You’re Building
Being part of the SRT & Partners, we work closely with our sister company Readhunt, an independent corporate insurance broker that shares the same values of personal service, transparency and long-term partnership.
Why Businesses Choose Readhunt
Readhunt is not a volume-driven, call-centre broker. They are a relationship-led, independent insurance partner focused on:
- Personal service with a dedicated adviser
- Tailored insurance solutions, not off-the-shelf policies
- Access to leading UK and specialist insurance markets
- Transparent, honest advice
- Long-term partnership, not short-term transactions
Readhunt also has a London Market division creating direct access to the world’s leading specialist insurance market giving clients even greater flexibility for complex or bespoke risks.
Together, First Business Finance and Readhunt provide a smarter, more connected way to support your business. By combining your finance and insurance under one trusted group, many businesses benefit from:
- More joined-up business support
- Better understanding of risk and funding together
- Time savings
- Potential cost efficiencies
- One trusted group supporting two critical areas of their business
Rather than dealing with multiple providers who don’t speak to each other, you gain a coordinated view of both protection and funding.
Let’s Talk About Your 2026 Plans
If you are reviewing your goals, challenges or growth plans for 2026, we would love to be part of that conversation. Whether it’s finance, insurance, or both – our team is here to support your journey.
We Would Love to Introduce You
If you would value a review of your current insurance arrangements, or simply want a second opinion from a relationship-led broker who puts service first, Readhunt would be delighted to speak with you. There is no obligation – just an open, honest conversation about how your business is protected.
