Bespoke Press Release Need to Kick-Start Your Company’s Growth? Feb19565
Need to Kick-Start Your Company’s Growth? It is the goal of every company to reach a point in their lifecycle that necessitates expansion. It’s one of those most fundamental of business touchstones, adding a touch of legitimacy that you’ve achieved true, measurable success. Yet achieving growth isn’t easy, especially in this challenging economic environment. Perhaps you feel like you’re treading water, not making progress, staying in one place. Yet, you’ve got a steady stream of loyal customers, you have active social media profiles, you’re promoting yourself in the right markets, and expanding your network. You are doing all of the right things but achieving little in the way of results. Whether you need to invest in your team – encouraging continued professional development – or expand your premises to allow for more footfall, most effective avenues require cash flow and expenditure. However, as business-focussed, client-centric alternative finance providers, Capify are on hand to offer a helping hand to SMEs across the UK. Every business owner and entrepreneur understands the importance of flexibility – to have that little bit of leeway when you need it most. It’s not normally a quality you associate with financial establishments, those seemingly faceless entities with unyielding deadlines and rigid criteria, but Capify hope to be different. They hope to establish new best practices in a sector which has, arguably, lost its consumerfocussed touch. Looking for Short-Term Finance to Fund the Growth of Your Business?
“We only get paid when you do.” Ultimately, flexibility and simplicity define Capify’s offerings. Their merchant cash advance is catered

entirely to your business, ensuring that you only pay when you can afford to do so. Merchant cash advances are considered one of the most innovative products in today’s alternative business finance sector, seeing increasing popularity in the retail environment. A merchant cash advance uses your card terminal to secure lending so it’s a great solution for businesses without many assets, but who have a good volume of card transactions every month. Repayments are then taken as a proportion of your revenue, making it a quick and easy funding solution for many SMEs. At the end of each working day, a small percentage of your credit and debit card takings will be paid towards your repayments. If you have a slow day, you won’t pay back much; on a busy day however, you’ll repay slightly more. It’s finance that doesn’t impact your cash flow. In this way, it is ideal for any business that accepts credit and debit cards, such as retailers, pubs, bars and restaurants, offering an alternative path to those that want to kick-start that next step for growth. In this uncertain economic climate, this flexibility and control cannot be overlooked, and looks to differentiate the company from a wealth of competitors and alternatives.
beyond. With dedicated UK-based account managers that are on-hand and eager to answer any questions, business owners can rest assured that they will always have the help they need. Today, they are trusted by thousands of small and medium sized businesses who have flourished on the back of Capify’s simple and quick financial loans. Getting that all-important cash injection needn’t be an arduous process, nor should it be considered a last resort. It’s all about choosing the right company to partner with.
Capify – A Business You Can Trust It would be remiss to skip over Capify’s pedigree in the alternative finance market. With over ten years in the industry they recently received funding from Goldman Sachs Private Capital in light of their success in US markets. Today, they have established a robust presence in the UK, becoming renowned for their client-centric approach to their work. Despite all of this, Capify make considerable efforts to ensure they stay true to their clients, embracing a sort of grassroots philosophy to – simply – help their clients achieve the growth that they need to flourish.

Retearn
Best Procurement Consultancy 2018 security of working for some of the UK’s largest consultancies to following their strong belief At the heart of Retearn approach is its Self-Funded Transformation model, something Simon is particularly keen to highlight.
“At Retearn, we realised through our collective wisdom that most organisations from SMEs to global multinationals to public sector departments are constantly striving to improve, transform and change and typically they look for additional funding to make this happen. Our strong belief is that most organisations should look within first - to cut unnecessary costs, streamline their operations and then invest the money they’ve saved back into the people, processes or technology that will genuinely help them to fly. “SMEs face a specific growth dilemma. Whether they have grown organically or through acquisition they can suddenly find they don’t have a procurement function or one that is fully fledged to allow them to make or mange the savings required. They often then look to hiring a procurement manager or director who then have the challenge of trying to be an expert across numerous categories of spend from Facilities, ICT, Telephony, Fuel, Fleet or Travel, HR, and Professional Services along with other direct spend categories.
“When we first began we recognise this need and work with SMEs to either help them design and build the right procurement target operating model, the processes required to drive efficiency, through to recommending the right team structure and level of experience required. With savings ranging from 3% to 30% and an average ROI greater than 6:1 we can build all of this with clients as we go i.e. it’s self-funded by achieving significant savings as rapidly as possible.” Looking ahead, Simon is keen for Retearn to build upon its current success and share its innovative approach with even more clients, as he concludes.
“Ultimately, the beauty of setting up Retearn is that it has also allowed us to create a culture that is different too. We get to recruit the best in the industry from a skills and experience perspective. Added to that, we are all operational people at heart who love getting our sleeves rolled up to deliver client outcomes. We are open, honest, down to earth and most of all, we are flexible which is important to clients who often need a bespoke or pick-and-mix service. Overall, we love what we do and look forward to doing more of it over the years to come.” Company Name: Retearn Telephone: 01344 874707 Website: www.retearn.co.uk
