Kevin Johnson

Kevin has gained over 25 years commercial experience selling conceptual financial solutions to trading businesses and has experienced first-hand what effect the Bank's lending restrictions has had on businesses. His extensive experience, gained at three of the major UK Banks and the leading Credit Insurer in the World, enables him to interrogate the Sales Ledger as a key document in understanding the risk and funding requirements for a trading business.
Kevin states "In my opinion business Directors, Owners and Managers of trading companies are having little choice of funding solution and are conditioned to have to accept what the banks and funders offer them. This leads to a high level of frustration because little or no control can be exerted over the banks and funders sanctioning process. There is now a whole new funding world sitting behind the banks leaving a client too much choice sometimes, which can be just as daunting as having little choice. Our service, coupled with our Funding Information Report helps all parties find the correct funding solution but places our client's needs first and increases their control and options with all types of funder."
