Super service, great results.
Coming out of Covid we were looking to grow, while backfilling the HMRC shortfall that a loss of business had created. With a credit rating that had taken a battering because of the HMRC tax trap, we were weighing up our options and didn’t think we would be successful when applying for finance. James was able to secure finance at the ideal level that has allowed us to fill the cashflow gap while providing a platform for us to go out and recruit new sales people to push the business forward. The future now looks a lot brighter than it did previously and we can plan strategically rather than firefighting continuously. Thanks James, we can now look ahead to a bright future.

Anderson IT Management needed to obtain a quick solution for raising additional capital for our business, as we had an opportunity to expand our Private Cloud IT Solutions.

Having been a BNI Member for over 10 years it was very straight forward to find a quality referral partner within our BNI East Midlands region and I was introduced to James Blacklaws of JB Commercial Finance by one of our own chapter members.

James is a long-standing member of the Apollo BNI Chapter in Leicester, and I knew immediately after our first 1-2-1 meeting that James would be a business contact in whom I could trust to solve my problem.

Within just 2 meetings of helping James build a clear understanding of my business plan and reason for investment, James set to work on finding the best solution within the shortest timeframe possible. There was next to nothing for me to do except for signing the paperwork once an agreed loan had been confirmed and made available to my company.

JB Commercial have provided Anderson IT Management with an excellent service, prioritised my needs as James realised the urgency of the requirement and found the right solution that was affordable for my business.

I would not hesitate to recommend James to our members of BNI Castle in Nottingham, and my wider network of business contacts.

James was initially introduced to our organisation through our financial adviser. He has helped the company Directors to secure a mortgage to purchase a business premises through a SSAS pension fund as well as other funding. He has guided us along the way with clear and concise advice and responded promptly to all communications with a positive and proactive attitude to problem solving.

Through James support and knowledge I was able to secure a bridging loan via my limited company for a 4 bedroom property. I was introduced and recommended to James through my financial adviser Stewart Warden. James took the time to really understand what I was trying to achieve by buying this property. Through open conversations James could really appreciate my vision and then advise accordingly. I was explained to and demonstrated why this was the best product for me and how this would help me achieve my plans for the project.

James was always available to answer any of my questions regarding the loan and was happy to stay in contact with the lender to help manage the deal through to completion. I valued this personal service helping me feel comfortable with the decisions I had made.

I have used many different finance specialist in my past property purchases but James bought a added quality in walking me through the whole process stage by stage.

Through this experience I have been able to grow my property portfolio and gain further education which Im sure will help me in future property investments.

James Blacklaws is fabulous - nice guy, amazingly knowledgable, a complete magician when it comes to getting unusual financing for business… (and you can trust him to get you the best deal not him the best deal - a rarity with brokers)…
I know some businesses might need some help with their cash flow… get in touch with James to see how he can help you survive back to thrive

Following a lengthy toing and froing trying to arrange an overdraft with the bank we contacted James at JB Commercial as recommended by Kerry Gibbs at BEB Consultancy.

Our first contact with James was late August 2019, James listened to our financial requirements and from the offset it was clear we were in good hands. Throughout the short process James was contactable and able to answer any questions.

By mid-September James presented us with a couple of options, we accepted one and the money was in the back the first week of October. Long story short, James was pivotal in our ability to win a contract of work.

I was reported directly to James, in regards to financial support/advice for my business idea. I communicated to James through email, he was very respectful and he was interested in knowing more about my business idea. From the information I gave him, James gave me some amazing advice to consider and how to move forward with planning my business; eg. producing a detailed business plan, considering hiring an accountant, legal work, etc. James is a very helpful individual who seeks to help others through his knowledge/skills, and his wisdom has benefited me greatly! I definitely recommend James as a mentor and his financing company!

James was recommended by my accountant and provided me with assistance in relation to a CBILS business loan when my own bank rejected me.He took over the process, required less information than Lloyds asked for and secured an offer. However in the meantime, the government had announced the bounceback loan scheme, and James advised me that I was better applying for that because it suited my requirements better and the interest payments after one year were much less. In doing so he did himself out of any commission that he would have made under the CBILS scheme. I couldn’t really have asked for any more fair and honest advice than that and would recommend him.

Great business bulletin session yesterday thank you. As per usual you are the ultimate guru when it comes to financing. I'm hoping not to have to resort to a loan but it's reassuring to know that you're there if need be.
