Oliver Mackman

Director, BestBusinessLoans

Oliver leads BestBusinessLoans's editorial reviews and methodology. With a background in UK commercial finance, he oversees lender research, rate verification and review independence.

What I cover

I write the single-lender reviews, the "best business loans for [persona / industry]" listicles, the post-decline guides, and the methodology. I sign off every review on the site before it goes live. If a review changes after publication (rate move, product withdrawal, eligibility update) it is logged in the page footer with the date.
