Simon helped his client expand quickly with Funding Circle

Efficient business finance

Simon Clarke, Director at Claratus Commercial Finance, joined the Funding Circle introducer family in September 2015. He told us, ‘Flexibility and speed of response make Funding Circle a valuable part of our funding panel. Their approach to doing business is transparent, efficient and effective.’

Simon was able to help his client move quickly

Late last year, Simon was asked by Finch House, an award-winning and established cafe and fine food store in Tonbridge, to arrange a finance facility which would cover the cost of fitting out their new cafe in Orpington, Kent. The team at Finch House had spent many months identifying the best site and when one became available on the high street, speed was of the essence.

To fit out the new shop, including catering equipment, furniture and air conditioning, Finch House borrowed £125,000 back in December 2015. Since completing the new cafe, Finch House has gone from strength to strength and were recently recognised as the number one hospitality and catering business at Orpington’s Finest Awards.
