Brexit: What now?

Brexit: What now?

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?

Why use Johnson Reed as a finance broker?

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.

Choosing the best way to find Financing

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.

Quirky Kit Finance – No end to the quirkiness…

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.

Johnson Reed – Very Open for Business

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.
