Carrick Capital · Creative
One pod a day — build its cards top to bottom. The rotation means you and the other buyer never run the same pod on the same day, and you cycle every pod by Friday. Graded on lead value & tier, not volume.
Tier A is craft over volume — this is deliberately below Fred's 10/day. Every card is copy-constant: for statics the Layout is the only variable, for videos the Format is. That's how Week 2 learns what actually won.

HEADLINE: Never a lender name. Never a reason. My accountant asked both in one call. SUPPORT: Your details go to the panel. Not to a list. CTA TEXT: Ask us the three questions PRIMARY TEXT (caption): Most commercial finance "brokers" are lead generators with a lender login. Your details get sold, your phone doesn't stop, and nobody names the lender. A real broker does the opposite and can prove it: we'll tell you which lenders on the panel of 50+ we approached, which one we're recommending, and why — in writing, before you commit to anything. We're paid by the lender if you complete, never by you. First check leaves no mark on your file. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.] Use this copy as written — do not reword. Broker framing: LENDERS decide, Carrick never lends. Soft check only — "no mark on your file", never "no credit check". Never "pre-approved" / "guaranteed" / "whole-of-market".

CW1-MT-V01-F1
Before you use any commercial finance broker, ask three questions. Who is on your panel — by name. How are you paid, and by whom. And which lenders did you actually approach for me. Most will struggle with the second one. We'll answer all three in writing before you commit to anything: paid by the lender when you complete, never by you, and the same either way. The first check leaves no mark on your file. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]

HEADLINE: My overdraft never moved in three years. Nobody at the bank could say why. SUPPORT: The policy didn't fail. It was never yours. CTA TEXT: See which lenders fit PRIMARY TEXT (caption): The bank isn't broken. It's just not built for you anymore. A high-street lending policy is written for the average of thousands of businesses — which means it fits almost none of them precisely, and a growing one worst of all. Nine years of trading, a real payroll and filed accounts don't move a policy. They do move a lender whose appetite happens to match. Finding which one is the entire job. No mark on your file to find out, and the lenders make the final call. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.] Use this copy as written — do not reword. Broker framing: LENDERS decide, Carrick never lends. Soft check only — "no mark on your file", never "no credit check". Never "pre-approved" / "guaranteed" / "whole-of-market".

Nine years. Still a stranger.
CW1-ID-V02-F1
Twenty-two people whose wages depend on decisions I make about cash flow. Nine years of filed accounts. And the bank still reviews the overdraft like it's a first application — because it's reading a policy, not a business. A lender on the panel read the same numbers and came back differently. Nothing about the business had changed. Just who was reading it. Free to check, no mark on your file, and the lenders decide. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]

HEADLINE: My facility never fit the business. Nobody flagged it for three years. A lender restructured it. SUPPORT: Outgrowing your facility isn't a mistake. It's arithmetic. CTA TEXT: Have the panel review it PRIMARY TEXT (caption): Most established businesses are carrying at least one facility that made sense when they signed it and doesn't now. That's not a reflection on how the business is run — it's what happens when you grow faster than your finance does. The facility that suited £600k doesn't suit £2m, and nobody rings to tell you. If the repayments are making your operational decisions, the structure is running the business. Reviewing it costs nothing and leaves no mark on your credit file. Lenders decide; we make sure more than one looks. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.] Use this copy as written — do not reword. Broker framing: LENDERS decide, Carrick never lends.

When the repayment schedule is making your operational decisions, the facility is running the business — not you. That's not a judgement on how it's run. It's just what happens when you grow faster than your finance does. A properly structured refinance puts the decisions back where they belong. Reviewing it costs nothing and leaves no mark on your credit file. Lenders decide; we make sure more than one looks. Subject to lender approval. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]

HEADLINE: My accountant said stop. Nobody had flagged the facility in three years. A lender restructured it. SUPPORT: The person who spotted it didn't work at the bank. CTA TEXT: See what a second reader finds PRIMARY TEXT (caption): Nobody at the bank flags a facility that no longer fits. It isn't their job, and the person who used to do it left in 2019. So it sits there — sized for the business you were, quietly making decisions for the business you are. It took an accountant ten minutes to see it and a lender on the panel to fix it. If nobody has reviewed yours in three years, that's not unusual. It's just expensive. No mark on your file to check; the lender makes the call.

HEADLINE: Nobody disclosed my broker's commission. Not once in three years. The lender paid it anyway. SUPPORT: We'll put the number in writing before you commit. CTA TEXT: See how we get paid PRIMARY TEXT (caption): Somebody was always being paid. Nobody ever said who, or how much. That's the part of the broker model that quietly does the damage — not the fee itself, but the fact you had to guess. We're paid by the lender when your facility completes. You pay us nothing, ever. We'll tell you the figure, when it's paid, and confirm it's the same regardless of which lender we recommend — in writing, before you commit. A broker who won't tell you how they're paid shouldn't be advising you on which lender to use. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.] Use this copy as written — do not reword.

Who has actually seen these?
CW1-MT-V02-F3
There's a difference between a broker and a forwarding address. One reads your accounts, picks the lenders whose appetite fits, and tells you why. The other sells your details and hopes. You can tell them apart with one question: name the lenders you approached for me. We'll do it in writing, before you commit. Paid by the lender, never by you. No mark on your file to start, and the lenders make the decision. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]
