Mark Hagan - Managing Director & Co-founder
Mark co-founded Compare Your Funding in 2013 after seeing a gap in the market for a genuinely honest approach to business funding - particularly invoice finance. The founding insight: too many businesses get pushed towards products that suit the broker, not the business.
Straight-talking, transparent, and client-first - that's how Mark describes his own approach. He believes every business owner deserves honest guidance and the right product, not the easiest sale.
