Hi Mark - Very nice site! Loads quickly and is pleasing to the eye - striking without being too busy!
I wasn't able to replicate the crash on IE but it loads faster on Firefox.
Well done - and here's wishing you lots of success.

Thanks so much, Mike.
I'm particularly glad you commented on the load time. That's something we worked really hard on.
Everything loads faster on Firefox/Chrome.

Great Site, often sites trying to sell product are just too busy with content, banners in the wrong places, video etc, but your site is great.
You say 50% of all traffic is coming from search what key words do you think people are using to find the site.
In google for bfore I notice it does not bring up the facebook page for the site, as per discussion the the google using more social network sites in rankings thread This thread not that is has too, but wondered if that was something you could exploit.
Pushing it here...
Also in terms of SEO optomization is it moral or legal to hijack say a viral video on you tube, meaning you post some one else viral video and put a link to the site ?

Thanks, vieome.
Long tail keywords mainly. Specific product names. This is exactly how we would expect a site of this nature to start out.
I'm not really concerned about it not showing up in the rankings. The page is indexed, though. In any event, Google will be picking up on the social signals, as it is the links that people paste on their own pages that are the ones that are likely highly valued.
Social strategy is a big part of the whole Internet marketing strategy that we've got going on for BFore, so we've made sure that the page is easily shared.
Definitely neither moral nor legal. Your Youtube account will be locked as soon as the owner of the video, and subsequently Youtube, figures out you've taken it.

Welldone Mark, It looks brilliant, clean, fast loading, nice open spaces, easy to navigate. PP, T&C are clear easy to read. SSL is good and active.
If you want I can go through the online Credit App and check everything. Will just put fake info, but mainly go through all aspects. Let me know.
Thanks dfsa.
Don't worry about testing the loan form, I had one of my employees fill it in every day for about a week. Because there are so many things that could go wrong, it had to be completed literally hundreds of times, testing each calculation, condition, etc. Strangely enough we're still having a problem with the file size of the uploads, but it seems that has to do with the hosting company. Hopefully that will be fixed soon, but otherwise it's all good.
That form was a total nightmare, though. Completely underestimated and undercharged the job.
