Broker ethos

We like to think of our brokers and introducers as part of the Somo family. Like family, there’s no challenge we can’t find a solution to if we work together.

Somo honours the special relationship that Brokers have worked hard to create with their clients and our ‘blended service’ means you focus on what you do best, managing the client and the case, whilst we do the heavy lifting. Somo will process the application, instruct valuations, organize 2nd charge consent and process the legals whilst providing as much support as the case needs – all directed by you.

Our products

Somo Lifeline

Business loans arranged quickly and simply for clients facing Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Liquidation, Repossession or any other financial difficulties. Loan solutions to:
