How we work
We prioritize building personal connections with potential clients to understand their needs before offering solutions, and for this reason we offer a complimentary 30-minute first consultation to assess if we can help.
Our approach is non-salesey with emphasis on putting potential clients at ease by creating trust and rapport.
We seek potential clients who are passionate about their businesses, who see our business as resonating with what they do, who will value our input, and who are pleasant to work with.
We choose clients who are a good fit for our services and comfortable with our pricing policy as a Consultancy Practice.
Although we deal exclusively with non-regulated commercial finance business, we choose to comply with the FCA’s Consumer Duty to make clear that we treat clients fairly, openly, honestly, and with the utmost skill and professionalism.
We are transparent on Fees & Costs and believe that the Advice Fee we charge for our services is respectable and represents an investment in reaching their goals by closing the gap between where clients are now and where they want to be, rather than seeing it as just another expense.
