Privacy Policy
Last updated 22 October 2026
BOOST CAPITAL ("we", "us") is a business finance broker. We are not a lender. We introduce UK businesses to lenders and finance providers on our panel ("Lenders"). We are the data controller for the personal data you give us. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
1. Information we collect
Information you give us: business name, industry, time trading, monthly turnover, amount and purpose of finance, your name, email, phone number, a description of your credit history, and any bank statements you choose to upload.
Open Banking data: if you choose to connect your bank through a regulated Open Banking provider, we may receive read-only account and transaction information. We never see or store your online banking login.
Automatic information: IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed and similar usage data collected through cookies.
2. How we use it and our lawful basis
- To review your enquiry and find suitable finance — to take steps at your request before entering a contract, and our legitimate interests.
- To contact you by phone, SMS and email about your enquiry — your consent and our legitimate interests.
- To prevent fraud and meet legal and regulatory obligations — legal obligation.
- To run and improve our website — legitimate interests.
3. Who we share it with
Lenders on our panel. Introducing you to Lenders is the core of our service. When you submit an enquiry, we share it with one or more Lenders, who may contact you and may carry out soft or hard credit searches with credit reference agencies as part of their own assessment. Lenders use your data under their own privacy notices.
Service providers that host our site, store data or provide Open Banking, under contracts that protect your data.
For legal reasons, and in connection with any sale or restructure of our business.
We may receive a commission from Lenders. This does not affect the amount you pay.
4. Marketing and contact
We will only send marketing with your consent or where the law allows. You can withdraw consent or opt out at any time by replying STOP to texts, using the unsubscribe link in emails, or emailing hello@boostcap.co.uk.
5. Cookies
We use essential cookies to make the site work and, with your permission, analytics and advertising cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
6. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we use appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.
7. Security and retention
We use encryption, access controls and private storage for uploaded documents. We keep enquiry data for up to 6 years to deal with complaints and meet legal requirements, unless a shorter period applies.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to processing, data portability, and to withdraw consent. Email hello@boostcap.co.uk to make a request. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
9. Changes
We may update this policy. The date above shows when it last changed.
