How Propel Finance is helping Birmingham's SMEs thrive

The financial lender will be sponsoring the Birmingham Post Business Awards 2021

Propel has been able to help manufacturing businesses across the West Midlands thrive thanks to its finance solutions

is one of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s largest independent finance houses, with a 25-year track record in supporting over 40,000 customers.

The financial lender assists with helping its clients to access the asset finance they need to obtain equipment and vehicles essential to their daily business practices.

By bringing together experienced people with advanced technology, Propel can offer best-in-class service and a streamlined process - enabling businesses to harness the most efficient assets available quickly and easily when they need them.

One of the keys to the success of Propel is its drive for building longstanding relationships with its customers and partners alike.

The financial lender is small enough to deliver a personalised, progressive and partner-oriented service, and large enough to have the expertise and resources to be an established leader in SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) finance.

Propel is constantly looking to expand its capabilities to better serve SMEs as they strive to achieve their business goals.

The financial lender successfully launched a partnership with Barclays Bank in April 2020 that extended across the bank’s network of 1,200 Business Bank RMs.

Through that partnership, Propel has been able to support more than 1 million SMEs as they acquired vital equipment and vehicles.

A year later, Propel added to its portfolio by launching a new partnership with Azets - a top 10 regional accountancy business that services more than 50,000 businesses nationwide.

Jon Maycock, Commercial Director of Propel says: “With the fastest growing economy of any º£½ÇÊÓÆµ city region, Birmingham’s role in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s push for productivity is critical and Propel is here to help.

"There is a growing recognition amongst SMEs in the region that long-term goals for expansion and innovation can only be realised with the ongoing support of their finance partners. We are committed to supporting Birmingham based businesses in achieving their growth potential by developing long-term relationships based on our personal, progressive and partnering approach.”

Supporting Birmingham based businesses

Propel was able to help a Walsall based firm supplying PPE acquire vital equipment for production

Birmingham is the engine room of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ economy and home to a series of world-class businesses that operate across the manufacturing sector.

Propel believes that only by staying agile and equipped to meet new demands, and driving enhanced efficiencies, productivity and performance will businesses emerge stronger.

It’s therefore critical that companies in the region have access to flexible finance to acquire the assets they need.

In these rapidly changing times, Propel recognise that continued investment in assets to build capacity and competitiveness is essential to growth. It’s also never been more important to work with finance partners businesses can trust.

One of the companies that Propel Finance was able to successfully help in recent months is a large printing manufacturer based in Walsall, who had acquired a new contract supplying PPE equipment to local authorities.

This commitment led to the manufacturer seeking working capital to ensure they could supply the demand.

After contacting Propel, it was found that there was unencumbered machinery which the manufacturer had paid for out of cash flow previously.

Propel arranged a valuation on the equipment and refinanced a proportion of the value into the manufacturer’s working capital, also structuring a four-year finance agreement package to suit the businesses’ needs.
