The angled tower logo, originally designed with the inception of the company, represents a twist on a traditional corporate bank to reflect Johnson Reed’s open-minded approach to the ‘quirkier’ assets traditional lenders usually neglect.
We’re often asked, particularly by new-start operators, ‘am I eligible for finance?’ Whilst the bank and more traditional lenders tend to operate by a very strict criteria, the process of securing finance with Johnson Reed is a straight-forward and much speedier process. The information required and the process itself can vary depending on a number of factors, and whilst we like to review each business case individually, we understand it can help to have some initial transparency on what’s involved. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a cheat sheet to give you the inside track on how asset finance is underwritten and approved in the UK.
Proprieter, Kim Somal, had a vision to open a contemporary new chip shop and takeaway in the Pennywell area. In early 2016, she secured a premises on the busy residential Hylton Road, and with local knowledge and a business-oriented family behind her, Nemo’s was born. Kim approached Johnson Reed, as the UK’s most-trusted chip shop finance company, to explore the finance options for the equipment purchases and shop renovation.
Directors, Darren and Lorraine Malt, have made a series of upgrades to the facility, including the introduction of laser tag earlier in the year, and most recently, the purchase of new soft play equipment. As well as upgrading the more dated features, the new equipment has helped expand the existing soft play structures, providing a larger and more exciting laser quest venue for birthday and corporate parties. Now older children and parents can get involved too!
