Henry was absolutely amazing! I definitely wouldn’t have got this amount of funding without his help.

We knew we needed more scaffolding and skips to take on bigger contracts and we knew the business was ready for it, but we’d tried several options and nothing came right. Henry found the right lender and saw us through the whole process. I can’t thank him enough.

Lending to start-ups can be a minefield, but after being recommended to Henry, even after our first phone call, I knew I was in very capable hands.

Henry understood what I was trying to achieve, helped me navigate the best deal and ensured it paid-out on time.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to any other business owners looking for alternative funding sources to the main high street banks!

His service and professionalism was FIVE STARS!

Henry went miles above and beyond to help us achieve our dreams and find us a great mortgage.

The application was one of the most complicated he’d ever done, and the requirements were off the scale, but he took it all in his stride, calm and professional at all times.

He helped me navigate through the jargon and last week we completed!

This means we can move on with projects which will be life changing for us including the creation of Southwold’s first fully compliant disabled holiday let!

There are not many brokers who will ensure their client is getting a bespoke and personal service that Henry provides. From the first contact I had with Henry it was clear that he wanted to not only provided his client with great service but build and maintain a strong connection with us. A deal isn’t just a deal to Henry, its about going the extra mile to ensure that all those involved are fully aware of the finer details and processes in order to have to have a smooth transition from an onboarding stage to being a fully signed up client.

I can honestly say I don’t think there is anything more you could have done in order for the deal to go through. Maybe it wasn’t the quickest deal to be done, however we got there and ensured the prospect/client had the best client journey possible.

Your clients are very lucky to have someone who will literally live and breathe their deal until it is fully completed.

I have recently required the services of SME funding UK Ltd to source working capital for my growing business and, having previously dealt with high street banks, I was not anticipating a straightforward experience.

From my very first phone call to Henry, to receiving funds in my account, I found the whole experience refreshingly open, honest, informative, helpful, incredibly smooth and surprisingly uncomplicated.

Henry quickly grasped what type of funding I should be considering out of the myriad options in the market and was able to lend an impartial but sympathetic approach to all my concerns. He was able to give me such independent advice that I was able to make an informed decision.

Henry was a consummate professional, friendly, very experienced in his field and extremely reliable. It was a pleasure dealing with him.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to any other business owner looking for alternative funding sources to the main high street banks! I shall certainly be using his services again soon for vehicle and capital equipment funding.

We’re getting to know Henry’s a fighter! He worked directly with our solicitor and the underwriters so that the big lender couldn’t get away with dragging their heels. There aren’t many people who go above and beyond like that.

We couldn’t have done it without him, not at all. We both have so much respect for Henry and we can’t thank him enough. He and Katy (our lawyer) are both great, a fantastic team.

I approached Henry to help STP find a new finance provider and finance agreement and we were ‘against the clock’ as our busy season starts in June.

Henry made everything very easy and as speed was of the essence, he worked with us remotely.  He went considerably above and beyond what I would expect of an average broker. We went to him with one thing we needed in mind and his ability to understand what else we required was uncanny.

We’ll definitely be working with Henry again – in fact I’m looking forward to meeting him in person when he comes in to do the next refinancing.

“We’d like to change Henry’s job title to ‘Director of Miracles’!

As well as being just brilliant all the way through, he discovered a mistake made by the lender at the 11th hour. We thought we were trapped with a useless agreement and were panicking, but Henry got on the phone and fixed it within 20 minutes.

We can now sleep at night knowing we have the working capital to deliver to the high standards we set ourselves and on financial terms that really work for us – it feels very safe.

Henry understood that timing was the most important thing for us. He was very straight with us and totally ready to pull the deal if we hadn’t got the finance in the timeframe we needed, even though he’d have lost his fee. Lots of people say it, but Henry really does put his clients first.”

Debs & Tom Hunter

What a great business you’ve presented to us, and thanks for giving us so much information. It’s because of this that we could pretty much underwrite the deal so easily and quickly. We were really pleased with how you’ve handled this. A genuine refreshing approach from a broker.

Paul Barker

Speaking as an underwriter, working with Henry on one of his (complicated!) deal’s recently has been an absolute pleasure. He has made the process so much smoother for his client with his quick responses and clear understanding of both his client’s business and the financial industry as a whole.
