Simon Allerton has this to say about Skipton Business Finance:
"Before we started factoring we were struggling to deal with our top customer. I had to ask them to pay early in order to buy steel to meet their orders. Our bank introduced us to the concept of invoice discounting but we found their own factoring company to be too expensive. However, the benefits of getting 80% of the value of the invoices straightaway solved many of the problems with my cash flow.
Skipton knocks spots off the other factoring companies I've tried. I find the staff are helpful and totally professional and I am also hearing this from my customers.
Factoring is helping my business to grow and I have time to source new customers knowing Skipton Business Finance are looking after my sales ledger."

RMS became a client in February 2007. Paul Martin made these comments about Skipton Business Finance:
"We use invoice discounting as a means of cash flow and have done for several years now. Since moving to Skipton we have found they are interested in our business needs and plans. They have a very personable approach and we have now met most of the team dealing with our account. Skipton are quick to respond and will make instant decisions, something we rely on heavily at times and their collections activity is both proactive and reactive. We at RMS feel we are getting value for money as well as a customer focused service: it is for them to satisfy the client, not the other way round."
