The story behind common sense finance
Meet the passionate people of JR
At Johnson Reed, clients often approach us seeking the secrets behind the perfect business plan to maximise their chances of raising required finance on the best terms. Whether you’re a new start, growing or established business, a comprehensive plan is crucial to your success. Stick with us as we take you through our key considerations and top tips.
We’re often told that ‘Cash is King’. But what does it mean? Quite simply, cash flow refers to the money coming in and going out of a business. The key is to minimise outgoings and maximise your revenue streams where possible, and we’ve compiled some useful tips to help you do just that.
May outlined her intentions to leave the single market; a route she described as, “a clean break from the EU.”
The 12-point plan also proposes control over the number of EU migrants entering the UK and a continued collaboration with the EU over research initiatives and defence policy, whilst improving relationships between UK nations.
There are several different methods to consider when making a business investment or purchase, all of which, of course, have their own pros and cons. Whether you’re at the start-up stages or a growing SME, it’s important to weigh up the different options available to you, and carefully consider your business’ financial position before deciding upon the best course of action.
And so it goes – after 43 years, Britain will be leaving the European Union, and after six years in the top spot, David Cameron will step down as Prime Minister. Whilst some are pleased with the result and feeling optimistic about the future, others are as disgruntled as the MEPS in European Parliament yesterday after Nigel Farage told them, “virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives.”
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of fact and opinion flying around, you’re not alone. But what we’re struggling to gauge is – what happens now?
If you are a business looking to grow and buy new equipment then you have a few options available. You could finance it yourself, but then you can only choose the equipment your working capital affords and using the banks can be a difficult and lengthy procedure. A finance broker, like Johnson Reed, could be the best choice for your business.
With over 15 years of experience leasing to sole traders, restaurants, gyms and many more, we know the industry and our industry-specific advisors can offer you the best unbiased advice, and are always on your side. We look to build long-term relationships with our clients.
When trying to find out the best way to fund your businesses expansion it can be difficult to work out the best way to get funding, often articles and reports can be contradictory and confusing. Even though headlines are saying that more money is being offered to SMEs through traditional banks, it can still be difficult to get quick and reasonable funding options.
Keeping ahead of your competition often means responding quickly to customer changes and making sure you have the most up-to-date equipment or changing your business décor. A quicker, simpler and more personal experience can be had from choosing a leasing option with Johnson Reed.
Here at Johnson Reed we have an ideal that we live by: Common Sense Underwriting.
What does that mean? It means that we deal with all of our requests for finance with a common-sense approach when it comes to whether or not we provide finance to a would-be customer.
As part of this approach, we appreciate that often we get requests for finance for equipment and assets which are beyond the traditional scope of lending. Sure, we get a lot of gym equipment, catering equipment, kitchen refurbishments, that kind of thing, but we also get a lot of unusual things.
When it comes to providing equipment finance for the fish and chip shop industry, we know our stuff. With over 15 years experience and over 100 chip shop deals under our belt, we have the kind of vast experience that means we can help with almost any proposal.
One question we’re often asked is, “What makes you different from bank lending?” Since banks are the traditional go-to sources of financing, it’s not surprising that we get that a lot. However if you’ve not been to your bank yet, you might be surprised to learn that a lot of banks will refuse lending to businesses that don’t meet their quite stringent criteria.
This is where we are different.
In a world that appears to be constantly obsessed by coaching – football coaches, tennis coaches and Team GB Olympics coaches have all hit recent headlines – it might be more logical for today’s business owners to consider a different type of coach, if only to guide us out of this seemingly never-ending recession.
