⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Stuart made everything simple and helped us secure the funding we needed.” — Carwyn H.

Most people pay more for finance than they need to usually because no one ever explains how it really works.

I break it down simply, clearly, and without the jargon.

What the Smart Finance Blueprint Helps You Do

The Smart Finance Blueprint gives you the exact steps lenders look for so you can prepare properly, avoid delays, and increase your chances of approval.

 

3 key benefits:

  • Understand what lenders want (before you apply)

  • Avoid common mistakes that cause declines

  • See how to prepare your business or property for finance

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Clear, straight advice that saved us time and stress.” — M. Lomas

What People Say About Working With Me

When lenders say no, my clients don’t give up they get tailored advice, a clear strategy, and finance that works for their circumstances.

“I recently worked with Stuart Johnston on a mortgage refinance, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience… he took the time to explain all my options clearly… guided me through every step… made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward.”

Every one of these clients started in the same place getting clear before applying.
