Gavin Dixon Finance Solutions (GDFS) is a family-run finance broker based in Bridport, Dorset. We help businesses across the South West and throughout the UK secure the funding they need to start, grow and thrive.

We're not tied to any single lender or product. Instead, we search a panel of 30+ specialist funders to find the right solution for your specific situation — whether that's asset finance for new equipment, invoice finance to ease cash flow, or a business loan to fund growth.

Our FCA authorisation means you can trust the advice you receive. And because we work on a personal, one-to-one basis, you'll always have direct access to the broker handling your case.

What drives us

Our values

Independent

We're not tied to any lender. That means we always search the whole market for the deal that's right for you — not the easiest one to sell.

Personal

You'll deal with the same broker from first call to funds in your account. No call centres, no case numbers — just a real person who knows your business.

Expert

With over two decades in commercial finance and a 30+ lender panel, we've seen (and solved) virtually every funding challenge a business can face.
