We are proud to be part of Skipton Building Society, one of the UK's oldest and most reliable financial institutions in the world. We share the same ethos in that we really do listen to our clients and work with them in partnership, rather than treating them like another customer with a customer number that means nothing to us. Independent from the UK clearing banks, Skipton Business Finance has the dual benefits of being part of a highly successful and long-established financial institution in Skipton Building Society whilst retaining all the benefits of an independent. We have no expensive shareholder dividends to pay therefore we are very much focused on understanding our clients businesses needs and assisting in creating wealth and jobs in business, rather than purely for profit. This naturally leads to a partnership-approach with our clients.
