Case Study November 2011

We were introduced to a local manufacturer of parts to the nuclear and motor industry; having managed their business well during the recession, were in a position to take advantage of increased demand from existing and new customers. They have a full order book and have recently recruited and operations manager to manage orders and supply, this allowed the MD to focus on sales.

They approached their bank for a £75k loan to support their growth; this was verbally agreed by their local manager subject to a site visit. When the manager visited the business, he was accompanied by a senior colleague who proceeded to talk only about a factoring facility which was “ideal for their business”.

Factoring does not suit their business and they were advised by their accountant to avoid such a facility.

NGI organised a £75k unsecured business loan over a 3 year period, this was proposed and drawn within 2 weeks.

To date they have still not heard back from their bankers about the original loan proposition.
