Testimonials
“I contacted Johnson Reed when I was getting very frustrated with my inflexible Asset Financing arrangements through my main corporate bank. After a short time I had financed our equipment needs at our latest Costa Coffee. This allowed more of our cash reserves to be retained in the business and has resulted, even in the current financial climate, being able to plan for three more stores to be opened in the next 12 months. When we develop our next stores we will definitely be using Johnson Reed, at a much earlier stage, for our Asset Finance requirements.”
