“Extremely flexible approach”

Mrs G from Manchester was experiencing potentially terminal problems with her bank’s attitude until she heard about the BLX. “I got in touch with The BLX after a business colleague recommended them. My aim was to raise funds to purchase a building and assets in order to enable me to continue to run a profitable business. I am now the proud owner of the property and my business runs successfully without worry. I have recommended The BLX to several business associates who have looked to secure funding and have been knocked back by the mainstream lenders. The BLX have an extremely flexible approach to how they fund.

“…the very best…”

A small business owner needed to raise working capital urgently to provide working capital until his property was sold. We completed the transaction from offer to payout in 2 weeks, taking a charge on assets and on a property.

“Our business can move forward”

A plant hire company in Wiltshire needed to add stock in their depot. The asset depreciation on their balance sheet made a convenient excuse for banks (yet again) to tell a growing profitable business that they could not help. Time for the BLX to bulldoze in and dig up a facility!

“Thanks for everything”

A guest house needed a commercial loan to undertake a refurbishment but the costs of up front valuations and broker’s fees was causing them a problem. Because the guest house had remained closed for a while, money was tight and the client asked us to provide the funds for the fees; this enabled the client to complete the loan, have the work done and start earning money again.

Mr G of Blackpool says, I found the help and efficiency of the company to a very high standard and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I was well looked after.”

“We had been banging on doors about a business loan for our company for nearly two years, even with a comprehensive business plan and a historically successful business, the answer was still no!! Just a few short months after being introduced to the BLX and the money we wanted is actually in our account and our business can move forward.”

“I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the outstanding help provided by BLX. With their guidance and support I managed to successfully resolve a very, very difficult and stressful financial problem. To me BLX represent the very best that is available in the financial services sector.”

“…speed and efficiency…”

A nursery in Lincolnshire needed £15,000 to help buy stock to be able to meet demand leading to the busy Christmas period. The client’s bank was not able to help and the client needed cash urgently – or the potential profits in the vital Christmas sales period would be lost. We were able to provide a re-finance facility against vehicles and machinery and the money was paid into the client’s account within 2 weeks of the offer being made.

“We were beginning to think we would never be able to raise the money as our bank line was fully utilised and all our personal money was tied up in the business.” says Mr M. “It was really frustrating. Thankfully I rang the finance broker who arranged the finance through the BLX and I am really grateful for the speed and efficiency with which the funding was put in place.”

“…pop in and visit us!”

Mrs ‘N’ and her husband own a convenience store in Wales. Unfortunately Mrs ‘N’ had a difficult time some while ago and this resulted in her having county court judgements registered against her. The couple desperately needed a replacement vehicle to carry their stock and we duly obliged.

“I only just had time to drink my cup of coffee at the dealer showroom before my car was ready to pick up!” Mrs ‘N’ emailed to us. “I cannot thank you enough for your very pleasant and fast service. If you are coming to Wales for the Ryder Cup, pop in and visit us!”

“I was very sceptical when I first made contact,” says Mr H, “as everything seemed too simple. I was very impressed by the professional and businesslike approach and, as they say, ‘it does what it says on the tin’. Everything arranged and completed in 3 days. Highly recommended.” Client

“You really have got me out of a hole – thank you. “

Client

“I would highly recommend any broker out there… to speak to BLX.”

I just wanted to say I think you guys did a great job with our first completion. It was a tricky application – new start business, non-homeowner and a limited credit profile. You approved the credit for the full amount with no deposit and using an existing asset as additional security.

The client was renting the equipment up until this point and they could stand to make at least £70k profit over the course of the 3 year agreement (compared to what they were paying out in rental costs).

I would highly recommend that any broker out there who is struggling to place a hard asset lend, to speak to BLX.
