The Boss Corporation

What The Boss Corporation does

The Boss Corporation is a UK-based asset finance broker founded in 2003 by Mike Boss, operating as the trading name of the partnership MR & AJ Boss. The company connects UK and Irish businesses that have been turned away by traditional banks with a portfolio of specialist funding partners, arranging finance for assets including IT hardware and software, fleet vehicles, construction plant, agricultural equipment, and professional practice needs. Core products include Asset Funding, Finance Leasing, Lease Purchase, Professions Loans, Refinancing, Sale and Leaseback, and Personal Guarantee Insurance, supplemented by a Supplier Partnering program for equipment manufacturers and vendors. The firm differentiates via a proprietary 'Layered Lending' structuring approach and its willingness to fund non-traditional assets such as software that mainstream lenders typically decline.

The business operates as a pure intermediary with no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, no APIs, and no integrations disclosed. Its go-to-market is sales-led and channel-led: direct outreach via phone (0845 257 4685), email, and a 'Get a Quote' website form, augmented by a Supplier Partnering channel that onboards equipment vendors, a content marketing blog, and founder-led daily LinkedIn thought leadership. The revenue model is primarily broker commissions on placed deals, with the company explicitly stating it does not typically charge the client a fee, supplemented by referral fees from a Personal Guarantee Insurance partnership with Markel International. Customer segments span small start-ups to Times Top 100 companies, with named testimonials spanning SMB construction firms through mid-market professional services and enterprise technology vendors. The company is GDPR-compliant, has no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, and operates from two UK offices (Salisbury HQ and Christchurch registered office).
