Helping You Find Business Finance and Business Loans in South Wales and The West

Gone are the days when you could walk in to a bank with a basic idea and stroll out with £100,000 in your back pocket!

To get a business loan or any type of business finance today the banks are now much more cautious, more demanding in the information they need  and very selective about whom and what they support.

Today, when applying for a business loan,  it all comes down to knowing what the banks want and how to present your Business Plan to them. This means preparing a carefully thought out and researched Business Plan, (not something scratched out on scrappy bit of paper), going through an effective business planning process and then finding the best bank to review your business loan request .

 
To get a business loan or any type of business finance do you need to invest a lot of time?
 
Yes it does and that's the dilemma! You have a business to run; can you afford the time to do all that is needed to secure the business finance your business needs? In the current climate, when all your effort has to be on managing your business, this 'time' problem to go through a structured business planning process to get the business finance you require is compounded even further.
 
That's where I come in. I help business owners in South Wales and The West remove the administrative burden in business planning and raising the business finance you need, so you can do what you do best ... which is running your business. My banking knowledge and contacts means I am able to assist you through the business planning process and to get the business finance you are looking for.
 
Just ask yourself:
 
  • Do you have the time to write a comphrensive Business Plan to secure the business finance or business loan you need?
  • Can you free up the time to go through a full business planning process?
  • Are you able to commit valuable selling time sourcing business finance?
  • Do you have the skill set to write a compelling Business Plan which sets out your need for finance and how you are going to repay your business loan?
  • Are you comfortable sitting in front of the bank to present your case?

 

If your answer to these questions are either 'no' or 'don't know' then take a look at the service I can provide and give me a call.

 

With Your Bank At An All Time Low?

 

You may not be looking to raise additional finance but instead looking for help or support in dealing with the bank because you have fallen out. There are many business owners who have been hit by high levels of borrowing, a declining market and a disenchanted bank - not a great combination. And yet, at a time when communication is essential, it's usually at an all time low. That's where I come in. I help business owners like you get back on track and to come to a conclusion which will help you and your business move forward.
