About Us

Driven by Ambition,
Defined by Expertise

At Charles & Dean, we combine entrepreneurial spirit with industry expertise to deliver innovative finance solutions, empowering businesses and individuals to achieve their goals.

The Charles & Dean Story

Celebrating Our Growth and Accreditation

Charles & Dean was formed in 2011 as a high-end car sourcing company. However after looking at the market our founders realised that the majority of rates with dealerships were high and often came with poor customer service. Tom and Simon realised our niche – to be a transparent car finance brokerage, offering excellent service with flexible terms, later identifying a new opportunity in the market for business finance.

Charles & Dean’s rise has been impressive and we’re now accredited by the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers.
