Belfast contractors — fintech, cyber and a film-and-tech boom.
Belfast is one of Europe's leading destinations for financial-technology and cybersecurity investment, with a thriving film and TV production sector and a fast-growing software scene. Its contractors — developers, security specialists and production professionals — need lenders that read a day rate, not three years of accounts. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Belfast and Northern Ireland contractors.
Why Belfast contractors need a specialist
Belfast's fintech, cyber and film employers create a strong day-rate and freelance base. Specialist lenders assess the current contract or net profit rather than years of accounts — the route that suits Northern Ireland's tech and production contractors.
Buying a home in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland uses Stamp Duty Land Tax, the same as England, though conveyancing is handled by NI solicitors and the local market has its own dynamics. We guide contractors through it.
