We're delighted to announce that, together with the support of the many and varied lenders we work with, we have now facilitated more than £15m of essential loans and working capital facilities for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Among the many highlights are:

• A commercial mortgage of £850,000 provided for a company within the film industry supplying camera and audio equipment for blockbuster movies – the mortgage payments are much lower than the rent they were paying and they now have a secure unit to home them as they grow.
• A working capital facility of £200,000 provided for a firm of Architects to aid cashflow whilst working on large, slow paying projects
• A consolidation exercise carried out for a company in civil engineering, which cut monthly debt repayments in half. This enabled them to focus on tendering for new jobs and worry less about the financials of the business.

Of course, we like it best of all when customers come back to us again and again.

• We have helped a repeat customer with asset finance to put a sixth van on the road, having grown to a level where the fleet regularly needs to expand to fulfil demand.
• A portfolio landlord has completed on five buy-to-let properties with us and has handed over the reins to manage his upcoming renewal deals.

We are very proud to have been a part of supporting the SME community in securing much-needed funding, especially through the trials of COVID and its aftermath.

Whether it's been for growth and expansion, getting business owners on the start-up ladder to success, or simply a helping hand with cashflow, we've achieved a lot and have built some lovely business relationships along the way.

Thank you to all our customers for using our services, we wouldn't be here without you.

And here's to the next milestone and many more years of serving business owners in the way we know best - as independent and impartial advisers, with our whole of market brokerage services.
