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 & Must-Listen Episode Alert! - Step into the outdoors with Rootd Adventure
In this inspiring episode, Dave and Trev sit down with Joe Regan, one half of a brotherly duo behind Rootd Adventure Limited—a business dedicated to delivering unforgettable residential adventure experiences for primary and secondary school children.
Still in their mid-twenties, Joe and his brother Jamie are already making waves. With a strong foundation laid by their mother’s experience in the industry, they’ve built a business that’s quickly gaining momentum. But their journey hasn’t been without challenges.
Joe opens up about the pivotal role played by Guild member Neil Baxendale, whose guidance and financial expertise helped steer the business in the right direction. Joe is candid in saying that without Neil’s support, the business may have never reached its current success.
As a start-up less than 18 months old, accessing finance wasn’t easy. But finding the right support made all the difference—highlighting the importance of working with a trusted business finance professional early on, and to avoid the temptation of apply for finance either directly or online.
