Consultation about our service
We regularly speak to clients about how our products and services meet their needs. We also conduct regular research to review particular issues.
Our decision-making process
We have a structured decision-making process and will advise you of our requirements, including any information you need to provide. Following an initial assessment, if you meet our eligibility criteria, we will outline our considerations for providing financial support. The next step is a detailed assessment of your business where we may require you to provide additional information. We will set out an agreed timeframe and keep you informed of our progress. The MD & CEO is responsible for the conduct of our business generally, including our operations and the application of commercial terms in our transactions.
