Supporting businesses across Kent to access funding

An award-winning Kent business finance broker is going from strength to strength as it hopes to help more SMEs than ever before.

Bexleyheath-based Tamara Renshaw from Productivity Finance has a number of accolades under her belt, including Best Commercial Broker for 2021 and 2022 and Best SME with commendation 2020 in the LB Bexley Business Awards. Having spent three decades in the industry, gaining loan approval for her customers is in her DNA. With direct access to underwriters at many of the high street and alternative funders, she aims to secure the best terms possible for borrowers.

The business can arrange finance for all shapes and sizes of SME’s across the county, with Tamara regarding herself as an “independent and impartial bank manager” – though not being tied to just one bank, but working with all lenders. Productivity Finance has been established for six years and continues to grow, even working throughout the Covid pandemic facilitating CBILS (Government recovery loans) for businesses in distress.

Tamara says the business’s philosophy is to make accessing finance as easy and painless as possible for business owners, with her aim threefold:

• Navigate the market, secure, and negotiate the best terms for you.

• Take care of the process from start to finish – just send us your accounts and a few other bits.

• Present a compelling application to our funders, highlighting your business in the best possible way.

Loan applications are 33% more successful when presented by a broker than when customers apply directly, she states.

Among the finance facilitated are cash flow and CAPEX funding, commercial mortgages, invoice and asset finance and everything in between, including property development finance, bridging and BTL mortgages.
