Our Specialist SME Sectors:

We recently had the opportunity to work with Wasim Ahmed of Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage in helping one of their clients who are a boutique – London based specialist recruitment firm. Wasim diligently provided all the information and discussed with us in detail some of the key funding challenges involved, this helped us to understand the business and we are delighted to support this business. I was particularly impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and work ethics. We look forward to working with Wasim and his client’s on future business finance opportunities.

We recently had the opportunity to work with Wasim Ahmed of TMF Brokerage and their client, who are an international specialist engineering firm based in southeast of England. The business’s customer base extends over several continents, America’s, Europe, Australia and the Far East. Wasim has been working with this business for some time and has already put in place a Trade finance facility to support the international growth of the business. However, to cope with growing cash-flow requirements the business needed a more flexible funding partner like Siemens Invoice Finance. Wasim presented us with an outstanding credit proposal which allowed understanding the dynamics of this sophisticated business. Wasim worked with us and the client for the entire duration of the process to overcome any challenges. He was a key participant in designing and negotiating a bespoke facility for the client. We are delighted to support this business now and look forward to working with Wasim & TMF Brokerage in near future.

Following a recommendation by a very close friend, I arranged to speak with Wasim of Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage. This is by far the best decision I have made in a very long-time. Wasim is quite simply a joy to deal with. He is an expert within his marketplace and has the key skills that enabled him to listen & recommend firms that would 'fit' the size of my company and the funding levels required. After a couple of meetings with firms, a deal has now been agreed and I now have the finance facility that is essential for my company’s future growth. All thanks to Wasim of Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Wasim or Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage to any SME owners who are looking for new/improved finance facilities.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Wasim of TMF Brokerage, to put in place a Trade finance facility for one of his clients. They are a multi-million-pound manufacturing & distribution business with products distributed in 34 different countries internationally. Wasim has been working with them for some time and has put in place an appropriate working capital facility. However, the business is going through a significant growth phase and hence needed additional Trade Finance facility to support their growth. Wasim presented excellent & detailed credit proposal which helped us to understand the business model. Wasim worked closely with us & the client in negotiating a bespoke Trade finance facility. I am delighted to support this business & certainly look forward to working with Wasim & TMF Brokerage who have proven to be an excellent partner for us.

Wasim of Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage & I worked recently on an invoice finance deal. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and efficiency. The Credit proposal that he sent over had excellent detail. Wasim worked very tirelessly to design and negotiate the business funding facility in line with the client requirements and hence we were able to close the deal. He is great to work with and I look forward to working with Wasim in 2014 on more business deals.

2017 has been another successful year in growing the Siemens Invoice finance proposition within the UK SME market. We have increased our market share and our loan book significantly. Hence, it is important to recognise the efforts of our valuable partners like Wasim Ahmed of Trade & Merchant Finance who have supported us and helped their clients in designing a tailor made financing solution that will help the clients growing business cash needs. Our existing relationship with Wasim & Trade & Merchant Finance has further strengthened this year. As jointly we had the opportunity to work together in supporting and structuring a business re- financing package for one their clients based in southeast of England. The business is a multi-million pound wholesaler in agricultural industries. The key issue with the current funder was that they offered a restricted working capital facility which did not allow the business to fully capitalise on its strong balance sheet in order to support its growth. However, we in collaboration with Wasim were able to securitise and offer a refinancing package that provides a fully flexible funding facility plus higher funding limit that will allow the business to support the ongoing growth, plus our state of the art live online system will help the client to analyse their daily trading position. Thanks to Wasim for his efforts on this deal we look forward to working with you in future on other quality deals

Wasim of Trade & Merchant Finance Brokerage & I worked together recently on a high profile business based in Surrey. The credit proposal that he drafted and sent over was very detailed and included excellent financial commentary. I was very impressed with how professionally he conducted himself. He was a key stakeholder in negotiations with the client and finally assisted with successfully completion of the deal. Above all he is fun to work with. I look forward to working with him on future deals and wish him and his brokerage success.
