LATEST DEALS OF THE MONTH

Posted in: Deal Of The Month | Posted on: 8 September 2021

August was another good month for new business at Kingsley Asset Finance with over £1 Million of hard assets funded for SME’s.
 
Hard assets varied from a used Case excavator, for a construction business, to a Range Rover Vogue for a director of a logistics company.
 
To highlight our speed of service we wanted to share a deal we transacted in just 6 working days, from receipt of proposal to pay out!

The proposal was from one of supporting brokers who knows his client well. This was an established hire crane business looking to fund a mobile crane required for immediate hire, advance of £111k
 
We had to act quickly!


Key stages:
 
2/8/21                       Proposal received
 
3/8/21                       Valuation obtained
                                   Full credit acceptance issued
 
4/8/21                       Documents emailed to broker
 
5/8/21                       Signed documents received from broker
 
9/8/21                       Tracker fitted
                                   Deal paid out

 

The broker was delighted with our speed and efficiency and had this to say on Trustpilot:

"Funds required quickly for client who wanted to settle another finance agreement and raise additional funds for a new asset purchase. Great communication with the underwriter and quick turnaround from start to finish."
