Our values

ARK’s founding principles are based around

  • Fair Play
  • Professionalism
  • Integrity

Fair play ensures our decisions serve the needs of the clients and our business, without harming either the business, clients, employees, partners or the community at large.


Professionalism with our people and our clients in all our conduct.


Integrity means we will do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. We keep our promises and act truthfully and honestly.

Our Difference

“What sets ARK apart is how our finance and consultancy services work together seamlessly.

Our consulting service is backed by our years of experience, and follows a bespoke, fact based analysis of where you are and what you can achieve. Which in turn, leads to a de risked and focused way forward for you and your business.

Our deep understanding of a client’s business, enables us to structure finance solutions that are not only fit for purpose but also aligned with long-term strategic goals.

Conversely, access to funding allows our clients to action the very strategies we help design, creating a powerful cycle of informed decision-making and practical implementation.
