Happy New Year 2021 From FundInvoice
FundInvoice would like to wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2021!
We would like to thank all our clients, prospects, introducers, suppliers and business contacts for their support during the last year. It has been tough for many businesses, but 2021 looks much more promising.
The image sums it up well, we are glad to see the back of 2020 - let's make 2021 a success.
Happy New Year 2021!
We hope that 2021 brings you all a more fruitful year than the outgoing one. As we said in our Christmas post, 2020 has been overshadowed by all the issues around Covid-19 and Brexit. The new year could see us all getting out from under those clouds and heading towards a much brighter future, where lockdowns are a thing of the past, and we have a new trading relationship with the European Union.
FundInvoice 2020 Achievements
We always like to reflect on our successes at the end of each year, so below are a few examples of those - despite the difficult circumstances. These are a few things that we have achieved over the last year.
Firstly we have to say that we are still here! We have traded through one of the toughest periods in UK history, and we have helped a lot of businesses survive along the way. We were "Finalists" in the category of "Invoice Finance Broker Of The Year" at the Business Moneyfacts Awards. This marks our 6th consecutive year in the awards finals.
28% Average Cost Savings
Over the last 2 years, we have saved customers 28% on average against quotes sourced elsewhere. (Note: Savings updated post-publication).
86% Business Funding Success Rate
We have been able to find business funding for 86% of the companies that we have dealt with.
Embedded Invoice Finance Application App
We were the first to embed the Optimum Finance invoice finance application app into our website. Clients can get an invoice finance decision, and a price quote in just 60 seconds using the app.
Website Rebranding
Our website has been relaunched with an updated branding and lots of new images. We have adopted a consistent look and feel across all media.
Business Turnaround Guide
Launching our free business turnaround guide was a particularly important success story for us. We really wanted to help businesses that are struggling in the current climate to find the help and support that they need to get back on track.
Product Guides
We have added new product guides. Our factoring guide and our construction finance guides were launched this year.
Glenn Blackman
Glenn celebrated both the anniversary of 20 years working for himself and the launch of his first book (co-authored with Mike Vince) Selling Without Shaking Hands - How To Sell From Anywhere. The book was written during the first lockdown.
Growth Hub
Finally, we added our growth hub which connects new startups and growing companies with the support and resources they need to boost their business growth - something that might be very relevant as we enter 2021.
