Ben Francis
Commercial Finance Broker
Ben is a Commercial Finance Broker in our commercial team, working across a broad range of funding requirements, from small business loans to large commercial portfolio mortgages and acquisitions.
The majority of his career history was spent in the property sector, where he worked as a New Home Sales Manager and Property Valuer. Always interested in finance, Ben decided to train as a mortgage broker, joining Clifton Private Finance as a trainee bridging broker before moving across to the Business Finance team.
He enjoys the variety that comes with the role, particularly the fact that every client has a different story and set of challenges. Problem-solving is one of his strongest skills, and finding the right way to help each client achieve their objectives is what he finds most rewarding.
Ben is CeMAP qualified and has set his sights on reaching the top of his field in commercial finance.
Outside of work, he enjoys travelling and keeping active at the gym, often combining the two by finding new destinations to explore while maintaining his fitness routine.

I had the pleasure of working with James Ellacott on brokering my commercial mortgage. James and his team delivered outstanding service throughout the entire process—always quick to respond to my requests and consistently going the extra mile to help me secure additional funding. I highly recommend them.

We did NOT have an easy time getting a mortgage for our recent home purchase, but Patrick went above and beyond in finding a lender and navigating their seemingly endless barrage of requests and delays. He'll be our first call in two years when we need to remortgage.
