Fit Out Finance to exhibit at Hotelympia

We are pleased to announce that Fit Out Finance has chosen to take a stand at Hotelympia, which takes place at ExCel London on 5th to 8th March. Our stand will be 2933 in the Hospitality Tech zone.

This follows on from our success exhibiting at the Independent Hotel Show last October – a show where we were able to speak in some detail with both hotel owners seeking funding for fit out projects, and suppliers of equipment and services relating to hotel fit outs. And where, curiously 30% of our leads came in the last hour of the show.

Happily our partners at WestWon have agreed to help with manning the stand with some of their own experienced and knowledgeable staff, which leaves Fit Out Finance MD Mark Jones free to meet with existing or potential clients and suppliers for a more leisurely one-to-one discussion over coffee away from the stand (We will even buy the coffee!).

Mark Jones comments ‘whilst our finance offering is applicable to most businesses who are fitting out premises, we are particularly committed to the hotel and leisure sector. In the last 2 years we have been able to assist a number of our hotel clients who are rightly proud of the attention they give to both the appearance and ongoing maintenance of their premises. By Using Fit Out Finance they have been able to instigate projects swiftly rather than waiting for the cash to come in. In the hotel sector procrastination really can cost money’.

Attendance at the show will also cement our position as the only finance brokerage who are entirely focussed on helping hotel owners to fund their fit out projects.

The Independent Hotel Show takes place at ExCel London from the 5th to 8th March. We aim to have someone on stand at all times to answer any general questions or propositions you may have.

For more detailed discussions, you are invited to book a one-to-one sit down with Mark Jones – pre booking is advisable if you are committed to attendance times. Please email [email protected], or use LiveChat on our website.

We are keen to share knowledge with any business involved in the hotel trade, whether as operator, owner, supplier or advisor.

We look forward to seeing you at the show.

Fit Out Finance Announces New Partnership With WestWon Ltd

Fit out Finance is pleased to announce it’s new partnership arrangement with established and substantial leasing broker, WestWon Ltd. The move will see WestWon take a 42% share in our parent company, Business Funding Portal Ltd, whilst Fit Out Finance and their clients will benefit from WestWon’s significant investment and commitment to staff, processes, systems and compliance.

 

PERSONAL SERVICE

In an increasingly regulated environment, Mark Jones, MD of Fit Out Finance has long recognised the importance of strong and compliant systems, however previous offers had involved him losing the valuable Fit Out Finance brand and diluting the personal service he enjoys offering to business owners, many of whom operate in the hotel and leisure sector.

Mark Says “I have known Jeremy Hall (CEO of WestWon) for more than 20 years, in which time he has successfully sold one leasing business to a global corporation and grown another to be one of the largest brokerages in the UK. We could only partner with someone who respected both the Fit Out Finance brand and our hands-on approach with customers. The deal with WestWon meets these requirements perfectly”.

 

PERFECT MATCH

WestWon operates in a number of niche sectors, including office furniture leasing; their forward strategy is to increase their dominance of distinct but strong market niches both by organic growth and by acquisition. Partnering with Fit Out Finance will cement their position in the office fit out sector and create inroads to the buoyant and interesting hotel and leisure sector.

As WestWon CEO, Jeremy Hall puts it “Whilst we are committed to growing through acquisition, it is critical that both partners benefit from the transaction, and can see a way to work together. We are working with Fit Out Finance to bring their branding and website in line with ours; they will also have a discreet version of our CRM system however, Mark is very much in control of day-to-day operations. Both parties are convinced that this relationship will be to the benefit of customers and introducers using Fit out Finance”.

Meanwhile Fit Out Finance has recognised that, whilst their front end offering and customer service are exceptional, it is very difficult for a small independent brokerage to remain complaint and fully efficient in their systems; joining forces with WestWon will enable them to concentrate on their front end offering, confident in the knowledge that their introducers and customers are benefitting from state of the art systems and a powerful and bespoke client/deal management system.
