About Vantage
Finance with people you can actually get hold of
Vantage Asset & Commercial Finance Ltd is a husband and wife brokerage. You deal with Charles and Melanie from the first conversation to completion, not a different person every time you call.
Our story
Why we started Vantage
Charles has spent nearly 20 years in mortgages, including many years with some of the largest brokers in the country, and runs Easy Mortgages in Hampshire. Melanie wanted to build something with the same feel for businesses rather than homeowners.
Vantage is the result. A commercial finance brokerage built around straight answers, plain English and staying with a case until the money lands, whether that is a shop, a rental portfolio, a new machine or an invoice book that is tying up cash.
Our network gives a small firm like ours access to specialist support and a wide range of lenders, while you keep dealing with the two of us.
Meet Charles and Melanie
The two people you will be dealing with
Co-Founder and Director
Charles Calvert
After nearly 20 years helping people with their mortgages, including many years with some of the largest brokers in the country, the next logical step for me was commercial finance. Joining forces with my wife, Melanie, to launch Vantage means I can bring that experience to business owners, landlords and developers.
Through Easy Mortgages I have helped more than 750 clients, and I have always believed in the same things: plain English, no jargon, and treating every client as a person rather than a case number. That is exactly how we run Vantage.
Outside of work you will find me on the golf course, in the gym or, most importantly, with my family.
Co-Founder and Director
Melanie Calvert
I’m the Co-Founder and Director of Vantage Asset & Commercial Finance, which I run alongside my husband, Charles.
We set up Vantage because we wanted to create a finance business that feels personal, approachable and genuinely focused on its clients. I enjoy getting to know the people behind the businesses we work with and helping them find the right funding for their individual needs.
I’m a wife and mum to our two boys, so family is a huge part of my life. I bring that same honest, friendly and down-to-earth approach to Vantage, and I’m passionate about building relationships that last, rather than simply arranging finance and moving on.
