“As a business angel brokerage we often need accurate and quick response from experts. Simon provided, at very short notice, the most thorough projections we have ever received… to the client's complete satisfaction. We would never have any hesitation in recommending Simon's services”

Ian Palmer, Capital Brokers (Corporate Associate - Beer & Partners Business Angel Network) www.capital-brokers.co.uk

And it’s proven to work. Using the same approach I’ll use for you I have helped raise bank funding ranging from amounts as small as £10k up to £2.3m received from Barclays and individual business angel investments as much as £250k.  I am routinely recommended by bank and finance brokers because of the valuable contribution I make to their lending process.  They tell their clients how important good financials are and they know they can rely on me to provide them.

I am certain that there is no easier, faster or more professional way for you to produce the forecast you need to get the money you want. And even if finance is what you do all day, forecasting is not a wheel you want to reinvent. (Trust me, I know. I reinvented it!)

“I have no doubt your forecast made a significant contribution to us
attracting the funds we needed……thanks for your help.”

You might be considering getting some forecasting software and doing it yourself.  The makers of the software will all tell you how easy it will be: that you'll have it done in ten minutes.  But the reality of new software is that it's a harsh learning curve, lots of distraction and potential delays, and takes no account of the considerable cost of your own time.  Do you really want to have to get to grips with another bit of software to carry out a process you may not fully understand?  And that you'll probably use only once? Isn’t it better to save your time and energy for more profitable things and leave the forecast to an expert who's already got the right tool for the job?  (Or maybe you really do need something else to worry about!)

The alternative is to call me on 07710 176443. In just hours you’ll have achieved what could otherwise take you days or weeks, and this way you can be sure that it will always meet the highest standards demanded by your bank or investor. The software I use is free to you, and It’s a great feeling to know that your funding won’t be compromised by poorly presented numbers that don’t quite add up.

And what a relief it will be to know that the demands on your own time will be minimised and you won’t have to be distracted from doing things that are more urgent, important and profitable in your business.

 “…did what you said on the tin. We started talking at 8.45 and I had a complete
working model by 1.30 - less than 5 hours…. the initial appraisal and discussion
helped me establish the issues clearly and quickly…”
Jim Morrison – Deep Blue Sky Digital

In fact everything about the service I offer is designed to make sure it exceeds expectations. As well as delivering the financial information and reports which are such an important part of every successful funding application, the system I build for you becomes a surprisingly powerful management tool - an easy to use, free spreadsheet that sits on your computer and which you can edit whenever the goalposts move. (And move they will!) If you need help it’s all within the price so you don’t have to go back to anyone and incur more fees. It’s all designed to make the practicalities really easy.

One of the things I pride myself on is building financial projections so they truly reflect your business the way you see it. Each forecast is tailored specially for you and I’ll make sure your numbers are consistent with the story you tell in your discussions and written plans. And I’ll put you totally in control of creating and distributing great looking reports when and how you need them. Your bank or investor will find the numbers are always clear and easy to interpret - not only will you be more convincing, you’ll save them time and they’ll thank you for it.

Remember: all these things are part of my service, and you don’t have to pay extra for them.

All in all an edge forecast gives you impressive, authoritative and persuasive numbers which make a really positive contribution to your funding proposal. It’s fast and effective and you can rely on it. The result is simply the best chance you could have of getting the money you’re after.

Have a look at what others have said and give me a call at any time. I’d be delighted to solve this problem for you.

My number’s 07710 176443. I look forward to talking to you.
