“We were looking for a facility to support our growth plans post-pandemic. With large investments in inventory and machinery to support a ramp up, we needed to ensure we had access to funds to support all aspects of our supply chain and customer ambition. We wanted some independent advice and support to find the right facility for the business. The team at Pathfinder took the time to understand our business needs and infrastructure, resulting in providing us with exactly the right solution for the company, both from a financial and relationship perspective. I would highly recommend them for any business related finance advice.”
Peter, Managing Director, Engineering Business

“We found ourselves requiring a specific credit insurance and funding solution for one of our long-standing clients. They took the time to really understand what was required, analysed what was available across the whole market, and subsequently provided an excellent bolt-on solution to our existing finance partner’s services. This was all done in a relaxed and friendly manner with minimal red tape. Both the client and I are very happy with the solution they delivered. I would thoroughly recommend a chat with Pathfinder should you have any business finance related conundrums, no matter how big or small.”
