You have the flexibility to settle the finance agreements early and there are no additional penalties for doing so, you will pay exactly the same amount whether you settle the agreement early or you let the agreement run its full term.

The settlement calculation is simply all of the contractual payments that would have fallen due on the agreement added together along with any notice period with no discount and this will form the settlement figure. We suggest that clients who are considering settling early use their services surplus funds to expand their marketing presence online or a sales support using our dedicated sales and marketing teams, as settling our finance agreements early offers no saving or benefit due to the terms of settlement that follows a strict funding covenant.

Once your business has been accepted by us for funding you and any guarantors will be sent a SSL secure  URL link which will enable each of you to read a document outlining our Business Process and so that you can fully understand what we will do and what you should expect to happen very quickly and before you or any guarantors are asked to sign any documents or make any other commitment.

All officers of the applicant limited company will be required to provide their personal guarantees to support the finance agreement. If your business is not currently incorporated as a limited company you will need to register it as a limited company before we are able to offer it any finance. Sole traders are invited to apply for funding – they will need to speak to a dedicated account manager – this service is provided on the basic of a consultation first agreement.

any relatives or others who are willing to provide their personal guarantees will have to be a Director, Company Secretary and/or shareholder of the company so that we can be sure they are supporting and actively involved in your business and therefore have a benefit and incentive to provide a guarantee.

The proposed finance agreement together with any personal guarantees, and charges to be provided will be posted by us to the relevant individuals in advance of the appointment which will be arranged for our representative to visit in order to get them signed by those individuals.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that the applicant and any others who are giving personal guarantees, or property charges read the documents posted to them immediately they arrive. If there are any questions or there is anything you or any guarantor does not understand then he/she should telephone our Account Manager without delay and before our representative is due to visit and have those documents signed. Any questions you or any guarantors may have MUST be dealt with by telephoning your Account Manager as the representative who attends with the documents for you to sign has NO AUTHORITY to deal with any queries or give any advice or representations on our behalf save that he will provide some relevant information from a pre prepared script and which all parties signing documents will be asked to sign acknowledging that they have been given and have understood this information.

We recommend that all individuals giving a personal guarantee and/or charge against their property should take independent legal advice before signing.. YOUR HOME AND/OR THAT OF ANY GUARANTOR MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOUR BUSINESS DOES NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON THE FINANCE AGREEMENT SECURED BY A CHARGE ON IT.

We do not fall within the ambit of the Financial Ombudsman Service nor are we regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as we only offer our asset finance and refinance agreements to corporate entities and we are a direct service funding company not a credit broker or introducing agency to other investors.

All

We are excited and are fully supportive of your business expansion project and will do our very best to help you and approve your funding needs very quickly. However, with all this excitement please do not feel pressured to enter in to an agreement too quickly, take your time and proceed when you are ready especially as you and your friends or relatives will be asked to sign as guarantors and secure the finance against their personal properties so they will ultimately will be liable and those properties may have to be repossessed if your business fails.

Our process is extremely quick and in most cases funding can be agreed within 2 hours, meaning you do not have to wait long periods of time wait for a decision.

If you are a Start Up Business please see our Start UP page.
