About MCL Finance
Since 2018, we've helped over 2,000 SMEs across the UK and UAE access the capital they need to grow β fast, clear, and with care. We believe finance should work better for the people building our economy: fewer hurdles, faster answers, and support that actually feels human. We back ambition with real funding and smart tools, backed by a team that gets what running a business takes. Our model puts people over paperwork β we work with brokers and business owners to deliver funding that fits, without the faff.
π― Our Mission
To reshape SME finance and level the playing field for good β giving ambitious businesses the fast, fair funding they need to build what's next.
The Role
The Loan Application Analyst plays a critical role in maintaining the speed and quality MCL is known for. You'll prepare files for underwriting, "scrubbing" applications so bank statements are clean, understood and ready for decisioning β a fast-paced, precise role that's a great entry point into SME lending for someone hungry to build a career in finance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
