This achievement pushes the total funding secured for UK SMEs by the independent brokerage past the £330m milestone.

Demonstrating the ability to work with businesses large and small, funds in March for asset, invoice finance and loans ranged from £5000 to £5m, with the last four weeks of transactions equivalent to the firm’s first six months.

The multi award-winning broker has a UK-wide client base, its smallest client turning over £100,000, its largest £860m.

Director Alan Anderson said: “March was a really busy month for us, with the team working incredibly hard. We have a real niche in the market place and businesses of all shapes and sizes are coming to us with their problems, be that, for example, growing too fast or over-trading.

“We enjoy finding creative solutions. One recent deal saw us refinance assets for £2m in England as the company concerned needed funds to open a new site elsewhere in the UK that will create nearly 100 jobs over the next 18 months. We also had £5m funds out for a ‘pre-pack’, which ended up saving 200 jobs. Those kinds of positive results are very satisfying.”

He added: “We are very good at structuring deals, make the lender feel comfortable and pride ourselves on our lender relationships. Building up a culture of a trusting environment and problem solving is critical to who we are.

“We take a consultative approach, look past the initial transaction to assess the bigger picture to find solutions that others can’t, and there’s no doubt offering a boutique service for everybody is working for us. We devise deals that are well thought through and regard everyone, whether that be a customer or a lender, as a partner, and we are all in this together, through the good and bad times.”
