    OVERDRAFTS OVER

    The good old days of overdrafts

    Banks operate a little differently to the way they used to when it comes to overdrafts. Back in the good old days you would call your local manager (who you would be on first name terms with) and he would likely understand your situation and arrange a modest overdraft for you where moneys were clearly due in and pressing bills needed to be paid. Fast forward to the current day and life is a little different.

    Overdrafts and small companies

    Small companies, in particular, are increasingly finding that banks can be slow and unhelpful in instances where speedy short term funding is required. Overdrafts are rarely offered. Short term bank loans can be anything but speedy. The fashionable crowdfunding method is very visible and can be time-consuming. Taking on a quick company loan from an unknown lending company feels uncomfortable. So what is a small business to do at the end of a month when wages and suppliers need to be paid?

    Edinburgh Asset Finance Solution

    Edinburgh Asset Finance have heard this story many times from exasperated company directors. The quick, simple and invisible (at least in terms of credit scoring) solution offered by us has proved invaluable.

    No need for overdrafts if you have personally owned assets

    Company directors can use personally owned assets such as art, vehicles or jewellery to secure a short term loan – often on the same day as their enquiry. There is no need to go ‘cap in hand’ to the bank and no need to take on a loan that might negatively impact a personal credit rating.

    What does Edinburgh Asset Finance Charge?

    Edinburgh Asset charge no arrangement fees and no early redemption penalties. The only cost for the money is the interest (calculated in simply terms – never compounded) that the capital loan sum has accrued up until the date of redemption. In short, Edinburgh Asset Finance can offer a simple transparent solution which has worked well for many business owners.
