Secured Signing: Faster Settlements for Brokers

In private lending, every day a deal sits unsigned is a day exposed to risk.  Risk of a missed settlement, a confused borrower, a chased-down signature, or a deal falling over at the last hurdle. For brokers, that's not just lost time. It's lost commission, lost client trust, and reputation damage that's hard to undo.

That's why Speedy has introduced Secured Signing across every settlement: a structured, legally documented digital signing process designed to eliminate the friction that's always lived between approval and funded.

Here's what it changes and why it matters if you're a broker working with us.

What Secured Signing actually is

Secured Signing is a structured digital execution process that runs every loan document through a proper, witnessed and legally compliant flow. Borrowers sign through a verified platform, with each step recorded, time-stamped, and overseen by a solicitor. No more chasing wet signatures, second-guessing whether a company execution was completed correctly, or wondering if the borrower actually understood what they signed.

It's settlement day, without the surprises.

What it means for brokers

1. Higher settlement certainty

The single biggest operational win is fewer failed settlements. Secured Signing materially reduces last-minute doc errors, missing signatures, and incorrect company execution, the three things most likely to derail a settlement in the final 24 hours. The downstream effect is a noticeably higher conversion rate from approval to funded deal, which means more reliable income for brokers and fewer “we’ll have to push it back a day” conversations.

2. Protection for your reputation

If a borrower ever pushes back later (and in private lending, sometimes they do), Secured Signing creates a documented legal trail of what was signed, when, and after what disclosures. You're no longer exposed to the classics: “no one explained this to me”, “I didn’t know what I signed”, “the broker rushed me through it.” The audit trail does the talking.

For brokers, that's not a small thing. Reputation is your most valuable asset, and Secured Signing means a single difficult borrower can't put years of relationship-building at risk.

3. Reduced settlement risk, better commercial outcomes

The structural benefits ripple outward. When deals settle cleanly the first time, brokers see improvements in turnaround times, exceptions and credit support, and most importantly commission reliability. Repeat approvals become easier when the process behind you is bulletproof.

4. A better client experience

Borrowers respond to structure. When a solicitor is involved, when the process is clearly explained, and when each step is laid out without rush or ambiguity, clients feel more comfortable and far more likely to come back next time. For brokers, that's the long game: clients who remember a positive private lending experience are clients who refer.

Built for real business

Secured Signing isn't a flashy feature. It's a quiet operational upgrade that reflects how Speedy thinks about every deal: get the structure right, protect the people in the process, and let the lending happen faster as a result.
