Business Finance Matters (BFM)
Now fully supported and endorsed by The Guild of Business Finance Professionals (bfpguild.org), the podcast seamlessly moves into its second series.
Hosted by David Grosse and Trevor Pirie, the podcast focuses on all matters that are relevant to the business finance marketplace.
David and Trevor have both worked in the business finance space for over 35 years.
David is the founder of Number Eight Business Finance and specialises in providing advice and access to all business finance products available today.
Trevor is the founder of Alexander Angel and provides independent consultancy to lenders, brokers and software companies. He has also been instrumental in coordinating and founding The Guild of Business Finance Professionals. https://bfpguild.org/
The main cause of the podcast is to help provide a bigger signpost and voice for those professionals that are trained, qualified and are providing an essential support mechanism for SME's that need to gain access to the best-fit finance products available.
Following the collapse of the UK high street banks in c.2008, business owners have found it difficult to find the best finance pathways. Despite various efforts with the British Business Bank and HM Treasury to support the signposting needed, all efforts have yet to be actioned or prioritised.
The podcast features guests from all areas of the market including lenders, industry experts, finance intermediaries and business owners.

The Business Owner - Martin Lewis vs Martin Kemp - Christmas Special
In this final episode of the year, David and Trevor bring some much-needed festive cheer to the often serious and challenging world of business finance. Their efforts are made even merrier by the lively presence of guest Martin Lewis, founder of 'EVESS' (Graduation Attire Ltd).
At just 36 years old, Martin shares his remarkable entrepreneurial journey, which began on the very day he graduated—12 July 2013. He reveals how a chance meeting with business finance professional and Guild member Duncan Payne (aka Martin Kemp) from 'Adamantean' became a turning point. Thanks to Duncan’s introduction of a tailored asset finance and trade finance facility, Martin’s business found the support it needed to thrive.
This inspiring conversation is packed with valuable insights for business owners, but it’s not all serious! Martin’s sense of humour matches the hosts’ clownish charm, leading to hilarity as they dream up a band called “Rock & Robe,” with Duncan as the lead singer.
If you’re looking for the perfect blend of laughs, light-hearted banter, and practical business wisdom, this episode is a must-listen!
