Part of this service is our Meeting Support which many clients find brings a real strategic advantage. Imagine having an ally sitting on your side of the table who is an expert in dealing with funding situations guiding you through the process when you meet with your funder or other parties. We do just that and in some cases we can manage the relationship on your behalf however you remain in the driving seat and in control of any decision that may need to be made.

Meeting Support

• Having and the support of an independent third party during meetings takes the pressure off you which means it is easier for you to do what you do best, and present your business in the best possible ligh. We can help you prepare the right information and be ready for the typical questions you maybe asked. By engaging early with a funder we can help you plan ahead and increase your chances of support

• Be one step ahead and know how a funder may react to a situation by being prepared with a strategy and the information they will be looking for to mitigate their risk. By being proactive with a solution and the introduction of a third party ( us ) will bring credibility to your case and help ease any concerns the funder may have, which means they are less likely to impose immediate restrictions to your facility, and far more likely to give you time to implement your solution or even provide additional support if needed.

• When it starts getting technical or sensitive we help you interrupt what is being said so you understand what is happening in the meeting and know what to expect from the outcomes. Having sat on the funders side of the table we understand how their strategies will be developing, what they are looking to achieve, and pick up on any hidden, or not so hidden, messages they may be trying to communicate.

• We can manage the situation for you, allowing you to and focus your time and energy on running your business without becoming distracted or absorbed in what sometimes can be an emotional and tricky time for a business owner.

• If the bank are forcing you down an Invoice discounting or factoring facility we can help you understand the pro’s and cons’s of such a facility, how it works, and whether it’s the right solution for you.
