Scaffolders were being overlooked
For years, scaffolding contractors were underserved by mainstream lenders and overlooked by brokers who did not understand the trade.
“I kept seeing the same contractors being turned away or offered products that simply did not fit. That is why Scaffold Finance exists.” Carl Redding, Founder
The problems were consistent:
No one was educating scaffolders about what was actually available to them. And no one had built something specifically for the trade. That needed to change.
From frustration to Scaffold Finance
Scaffold Finance is built on more than 13 years of arranging finance for scaffolding businesses. In that time, hundreds of contractors have been helped to fund scaffolding materials, trucks, VAT bills and everything in between.
That experience gave us a perspective most brokers simply do not have. We understand the trade from the inside, not from a textbook, and know exactly where the pressure points are.
In 2021, after years of seeing the same gaps and the same frustrations, Scaffold Finance was launched. The UK’s only finance broker built specifically for scaffolding contractors.
Why we exist
Scaffolding is one of the most demanding trades in construction. The materials are expensive, the jobs move fast, and cash flow can be squeezed from all directions. You should not have to fight for funding on top of all that.
We exist to make sure scaffolding contractors have access to finance that actually fits the way they work. Not a generic product from a lender who has never heard of a system scaffold. Not a broker who treats every industry the same.
Every solution we put together is built around the real needs of your business. Your timings, your contracts, your goals.
