Flexible commercial mortgage and business finance that supports you in any
climate...
Our experience as commercial mortgage and finance brokers working with UK businesses of all sizes has shown that
most have three priorities in common when raising business finance loans and funding...
- Competitive
finance rates
- Fast
results
- Flexible and
open minded lenders with a 'can do' approach
Traditionally, most businesses approach their bank for commercial mortgages and loans but rarely do
they receive service that meets all three of these needs. Unfortunately, many remain unaware of superior facilities
with enthusiastic lenders who specialise in helping businesses of all sizes manage their finances through periods
of growth and hardship.
Restaurant & pub refinance secured after bank's refusal...
We were approached by a very
profitable freehold restaurant providing cash injections of £120,000 to a leasehold pub for
refurbishment over a 2 year period.
The client owed his existing bankers £200,000 on loan and £20,000 on overdraft, a limit which he
was struggling to manage with. The client's own bank refused his request to restructure as the
financial accounts for the restaurant did not appear to support the repayment schedule.
Our lender agreed a £275,000 loan over 25yrs at a margin of 3.5% above Libor against a valuation of
£420,000 for the restaurant.

40% of all commercial finance propositions are turned down by high street lenders...
For most business owners or financial directors the first “port of call” for funding is usually their bank. It's
generally assumed that “The Bank” will provide the funds on the best possible terms because of the relationship
that already exists between the business and the bank.
This is rarely the case and, in fact, often the opposite is true. Bank managers are target driven and will seek
to provide business finance loans on the best possible terms for the bank and not the customer. This can mean
additional arrangement fees, higher deposits and interest rates which are higher than the risk dictates. In
addition most banks will seek to lend over shorter terms usually on a repayment basis only.
Thankfully there is now an alternative, specialist commercial lenders offering speed, flexibility and simple
business solutions. Finance is available for any legal purpose and can be secured across a wide range of commercial
property. Whether you would like to restructure your finances, buy a new business or are just looking for a cash
injection; as specialist commercial finance brokers we can help.
Flexible commercial finance loan helps to save the only pub in the
village...
Andy Brewer, a local hotelier from
Llansteffan, South Wales secured six figure funding enabling him to purchase the Farmers Arms
in nearby Llanybri and save what is the village’s only pub from potential closure.
Andy, who owns the Sticks Hotel, was urged by villagers to buy the pub as they feared that it
would close unless it went under new ownership. The Farmers Arms had been mis-managed for a number
of years and as a result did not even have proper trading accounts. Andy’s first challenge was to
take on a 12 month tenancy at the pub and establish good trading records before he even thought
about a purchase.
Twelve months on and Andy, who has more than 25 years’ experience in the licensed trade, turned
the pub’s fortunes around. Wanting to move forward with a purchase quickly he secured £160,000 to
cover the main costs of property acquisition.

As specialist commercial mortgage and finance brokers we can react far quicker than mainstream
lenders...
Unlike many banks and other traditional lending institutions, we are able to operate on a non-status basis if
required, simply securing the loan against commercial or residential property or land.
This means we can react far quicker than mainstream funders and make funds available within a matter of days.
Non-status lending also means that the borrower’s previous track record, credit history or loan serviceability has
no bearing on the funding decision.
Haulage company find's freedom for growth...
This Scottish based business
specialises in haulage and storage. A new financial director joined the company and identified
that the business had cash flow problems and had not been expanding the business to its full
potential.
The new Financial Director used his expertise to turn the business around and make it
profitable, raise turnover and get the systems and mechanics right for the business to go forward.
A funding gap of six-months was identified as the business was taking on a new large blue chip
customer worth £1.2M. A flexible funding solution was required to provide access to the
necessary cash flow.
This was an established company that was struggling with cash flow due to growth. While errors
had been made in the past, our lender was happy to provide the necessary funding to help fund
this large customer.
With the extra working capital in place the business is now in better shape and the facility has
given the business the freedom to concentrate on expanding the business to its full potential. The
team can now confidently focus on growth and sales, and the business has a bright future.
