SUPPORT FINANCE

COMPANY DOCTORS & BUSINESS RECOVERY, MARKETING, BUSINESS FINANCE, BUSINESS MANAGEMENT experts.

We are a group of veteran businessmen providing company owners with a wealth of experience in managing the growth or survival of small and medium sized businesses.

 If you want expert advice with any aspect of managing or funding your company’s activities, call us now on 01628 668811

We are not merely consultants – over the past 30 years we’ve been in your shoes, had success and failure, and so we know what works and what does not.

For arranging business finance we charge a success fee, payable out of the money we raise for you.

For help with business management and business recovery we agree either a one off fee or a monthly retainer.

 We know first hand the problems of managing your business in a recession when cash flow is tight, the bank uninterested and creditors are pressing.  

And we know that business growth, whether by acquisition or organic, brings its own set of problems in raising funds, negotiating terms, due diligence, cash flow, and HR compliance for example.

Business Finance
We have credit lines with most lenders of:

• Debt finance
  (e.g. business loans, commercial mortgages, funding imported goods),
• Equity finance
  (Venture Capital and business angels),
• Asset finance
  (leasing, sale and lease back, invoice factoring & invoice discounting, stock finance).
