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: My overdraft never moved in three years. Nobody could say why. A lender read it differently. 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".

Your bank scores the business against one policy — its own. If it doesn't fit, the answer is no, and nobody has to explain it. A panel works the other way: the same accounts, read by more than one lender, each with different appetite. One of them may read it differently. The first check leaves no mark on your file, and the lender makes the final decision. Subject to lender approval. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]

HEADLINE: My broker never showed the panel. Almost nobody does. The one that did got the deal. 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.

Who has actually seen these?
CW1-MT-V02-F1
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.]

CW1-MT-V01-F3
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 facility never fit the business it became. Nobody flagged it in three years. 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.

The debt was in charge.
CW1-PP-V02-F1
You know what the next investment is. The problem isn't ambition — it's that the existing facilities are eating the cash you'd use to fund it. That's a sequencing problem, and refinancing first is the move. Nobody at the bank flags it, because it isn't their job. A lender on the panel can restructure it. No mark on your file to find out, and the lender makes the final call. [ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO — not a documented customer.]
