We announced last week that we have formed a partnership with Skipton Business Finance. We are really excited about this and how we can mutually serve recruitment businesses with the best resources and services possible. If you are not familiar with Skipton Business Finance, read on to find out more.
Skipton Business Finance - what we do
Skipton Business Finance (SBF) provides businesses with working capital through flexible Invoice Finance solutions, including Invoice Factoring, Invoice Discounting, LedgerLite, Headroom Facilities and our interest-free Skipton Select solution. With over 20 years’ experience, we have a business finance solution to suit any type of business, offering speed of delivery and unrivalled flexibility. With multiple locations throughout the UK, this also enables us to form even closer relationships with our clients and introducers.
We can provide working capital to a business by advancing funds varying from £50,000 up to £15m. A healthy cashflow is vital to any business and our funding solutions allow you access to working capital when an invoice is issued to your customer. The solutions we provide can be used on a confidential or disclosed, light touch or credit managed basis, but what we're really proud of at SBF is that each and every solution we structure is tailored to every single business we partner with.
A personal service
With nearly 900 active clients, we are incredibly proud of our 98% customer satisfaction rate (carried out most recently in Dec ’22). It’s our belief that we achieve this through;
A Flexible Approach to Funding – Unlike other financial institutions, we don’t base decisions on balance sheet multiples or historic financial performance alone. Our one goal is to create a solution to grow with your business - meaning you don’t have to keep going back to your funding partner, ask for increased funding, that we know can take too long.
Dedicated Account Manager – No getting passed from one department to another every time you need to speak to someone. You will speak to a dedicated account manager who knows you and your business inside out and will be able to facilitate rapid decisions to ensure you have the correct level of funding at all times.
Direct Access – We understand that running a business is time consuming and you don’t have time to be held up in call centre queues, repeating the same security questions over and over. When you call us, you get through to your Account Team – it’s that simple.
Simple Process – Every office completes their own commercial underwriting, so you’re not waiting for cross-department admin and your financial solution is processed smoothly.
Our People-Orientated Approach – Businesses often choose to stay with us for their financial needs, as and when their demands change. This is because we put you first and take the time to really understand your business’s needs.
A Building Society ethos
As part of Skipton Building Society, we share a unified ethos for client care and high-quality service. Independent from the UK clearing banks, Skipton Business Finance has the dual benefits of being part of a highly successful and long-established financial institution in Skipton Building Society, whilst retaining all the benefits of an independent. We have no expensive shareholder dividends to pay, therefore we are very much focused on understanding our clients’ business needs and assisting in creating wealth and jobs in business..
