- Commercial Property Investor
"FUNDING ROUND helped us restructure a costly business loan to a new lender under very difficult conditions – a global pandemic, new Land Registry information, new remote working practices for parties involved such as solicitors, rising prices, restricted cashflow. Whilst we didn’t initially want to restructure on a longer term, we now see the benefit it brings the business, providing lower monthly repayments with the ability to pay back early if we want – far more flexibility than we previously had. Not only did the team at FUNDING ROUND provide the financial expertise and lender contacts to close this for us, they provided emotional support through a very stressful process – Lucy in particular was a saint and kept me sane throughout!"
