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.

A Little Filler - Rory Underwood becomes Honorary Ambassador of The Guild
After the hugely popular episode with Rory Underwood, Dave and Trev are thrilled to announce that Rory has officially joined The Guild’s mission as an Honorary Ambassador.
This episode also dives into growing concerns about the state of the business finance marketplace — where some lenders and brokers are turning it into a ‘Wild West’. Dave and Trev discuss how misleading and false information, spread through social media and direct mail, is luring businesses into applying for debt finance under questionable pretences.
On a lighter note, Trev skilfully sidesteps any Six Nations rugby talk and shifts focus to Crufts, while Dave seizes the dog theme to proudly share his recent success in raising capital for a brand-new dog parlour venture.
