What was funding needed for?
Additional funding was needed to compliment a capital injection from one of the principles. A lender with a clear understanding of the situation, the sector and the projections were required to raise the totally amount.
How Number Eight helped
Following an initial meeting with the customer, our Regional Directors were able to engage with a specialist market lender that had the knowledge and expertise of this accountancy and professional marketplace. An unsecured term loan facility to match the customer’s remit was approved and funds were transferred within 5 working days.
Result
As result of the work undertaken by the team at Number Eight, the transaction was able to take effect almost a month earlier because funding was successfully raised and delivered ahead of schedule.
