TESTIMONIALS

Now Financial Partners is an exemplary professional company; effective, efficient and tenacious. Ultimate finance group plc has worked together with the directors on a number of financial projects for businesses in distress and they are always focused to the extreme, empathetic with the business owners and great thinkers 'outside of the box'. The directors clearly have astute minds, are quick thinkers and I have seen them always ‘under promise and over deliver’. Their integrity and ethicality are quite frankly second to none and the company shows a maturity of unquestionable advice far exceeding the time it has been in business. I can, without hesitation, strongly recommend Now Financial Partners Limited to anyone wishing to do business with it.

Now Financial Partners have consistently provided us with well packaged leads that have been thoroughly researched and give us the confidence to proceed to the proposal stage.

The people behind Now Financial Partners have a complete understanding of our industry and are able to package a business into an acceptable lending proposition.

In the current financial climate businesses with even a small amount of adverse credit find it extremely difficult to obtain financial backing. We have found that Now Financial have a unique talent to see through obstacles to lending and can often put up persuasive suggestions to push a deal through.

Now Financial Partners was instrumental in obtaining acquisition and working capital funding for the MBO team of a struggling £3.5M turnover drainage contractor based in Hampshire. As a direct consequence of Now’s dynamic and imaginative approach, bringing in a new debt funder and enhanced asset finance facilities to complement the incumbent funder, it was possible to save the business and the jobs of 38 employees. Both Julian and Ian demonstrated real appetite for the deal and tenacity in assembling an effective financing solution, generating a positive outcome for the company, its workforce and funders, and the administration estate. We look forward to furthering our relationship with them.

Dependable access to helpful and knowledgeable advice whenever we need it is essential to our business and that is why Now Finance is our financial partner. But more than that they do what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it and in the current economic climate this reliability is crucial. Being focused but easy to deal with is the cherry on the cake.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the work we have done together over the last 12 months.

Certainly your enthusiasm and efficiency helped to turn parlous financial situations into positive ways forward, and the funding you helped find for businesses has ultimately resulted in jobs being preserved and stakeholders returns being enhanced considerably.  You are always readily available, no matter the hour, and this pro-activeness has helped me tremendously in being able to achieve the goals I have set in certain situations

Thanks for everything and I hope that our relationship continues to flourish in this extremely difficult economic climate.

Paul Appleton, Managing Partner, David Rubins and Partners.

Within the current economic climate the need for experienced turnaround brokers and introducers has increased dramatically. For the past two years we have been proud to consider Now Financial Partners (NFP) one of our primary introducers of Asset and Structured finance.  They are a leading brokerage who takes time to understand the financial requirement for their customers and make it their priority to establish what is best for the client. Their knowledge, skill and expertise make the underwriting process more straightforward.

Following the successful conclusion of the project I would like to thank both for the introduction to the transaction and for your help throughout the negotiations.

This was not a straight forward deal and we have been impressed with your professionalism throughout, from the initial comprehensive briefing, the balanced manner in which you helped the parties to the deal get through the issues which might have caused it to stall, to your ongoing tenacity to ensure satisfactory completion. This was undoubtedly helped by your extensive experience about invoice finance and asset finance and your knowledge of the suppliers in our market place.  

I look forward to completing many further transactions with you both

Julian and the team at Now Financial Partners have incredible experience at structuring financial packages for businesses, from simple vanilla finance to multi asset facilities they can do it, but Now Financial are more than just brokers, they key difference for us at IGF is the speed with which they can make a deal happen and more importantly the effort in matching the funder to the business so that everyone gets the right partner - this is fundamental to building relationships that survive the tough times and flourish in the good times.

We have known the directors of Now Financial Partners Limited for many years and have enjoyed working together on a number of deals. We have always found them to be pro-active in progressing transactions to completion and innovative in their approach to resolving issues. They demonstrate considerable experience in dealing with companies in a distressed situation which I am sure must provide their clients with invaluable and much needed drive and vision.
