25 years serving UK SME’s, working as both a broker and a lender I have helped hundreds of businesses raise finance for almost every possible scenario. From £5k to buy a new bacon slicer to £1m to fund a management buy-out. New businesses, growing scale-ups, distressed businesses looking at recovery options – I really have been there at all stages and no situation is off the table when it comes to funding, it’s all about having the right guidance at the right time.
