Based on your feedback, we are introducing a new series of short episodes called 'Finance in Fifteen'. Each episode dives into a specific business finance topic, packed into just 15 minutes, so you can get practical insights without the fluff.

The podcast will also continue to include guest interviews.

In this first episode, David and Trevor explain why working with a recommended Business Finance Intermediary is crucial before accessing any type of finance. With over 300 lenders offering a wide range of products, expert guidance can help avoid costly mistakes. Recent case studies reveal businesses ending up with unsuitable products, uncompetitive interest rates, or excessive fees...problems this podcast aims to highlight and prevent.

Produced in partnership with The Guild of Business Finance Professionals, this series continues its mission to guide business owners safely through the finance landscape, whether dealing with lenders directly or through those various uncredible broker channels.
