As a topic for a magazine article, commercial finance could be seen as a little, let’s be honest, dry. Not necessarily- says Andy Page, Head of Commercial Finance at Seico Group.
Main issues affecting the business right now have an impact on us all no matter what we do and understanding them helps us to make good decisions for our businesses and in our lives. Take property investment as an example- there are so many conflicting messages right now about the state of the market, sometimes within the same news article. What I think is telling is that an increasing number of start up property companies are foreign owned- which tells us that the UK is seen as a much safer and stabler place to do business than many of the alternatives. And property companies are also growing in number overall as UK owners are now opting for company ownership- for tax reasons of course- but I won’t go into that- perhaps that’s a little too dry.
It’s a complex world and at Seico we have the expertise, and experience, to help our customers get to where they want to be. We understand which lenders are open for business and what their sweet spots are. No matter how quirky the circumstances, there’s almost certainly an option available to you.
And there’s more than one way to skin a cat- it’s not only bricks and mortar that can be used to generate cash for your business. Banks and other lenders are increasingly able to release cash against all sorts of assets, especially in manufacturing, wholesale and transport. A big benefit here is that guarantees aren’t required and pricing is competitive. There are so many lenders out there that since you’ve been reading this article a new one has entered the market. It’s our job at Seico to understand who they are and most importantly which ones are the best fit for your business.
So if you are looking to expand, consolidate, or even in a bit of a fix, please get in touch and we’ll discuss the best options for your unique circumstances.
