our story
We have worked, at director level, for business finance providers both bank owned and independent. We have run our own trading companies using many different financial products. Our finance brokerage has helped hundreds of SMEs with their finance needs. Our experiences have enabled us to gain an in-depth knowledge of running a company as well as the full range of funding options available. This puts us in a unique position to identify the most suitable provider or bring together a package of funding sources to enable your business to develop as you wish it to.
our approach
By understanding your business, we are able to make the most appropriate recommendations to you.
No-nonsense. Our unique knowledge of the marketplace means we will not waste your time – we will always tell you what is achievable
Most of our business comes from referrals from existing clients or their accountants.
