After years of working with business owners on asset finance, while always working for someone else or for a bank, I've finally taken the decision to do what every single one of my customers had already done, and become the owner of my own business.
What better way to properly understand and relate to what customers are going through, than being a business owner myself.
So, along with my wife and now business partner Alana Mackenzie, we've set up Mackenzie Commercial Finance Limited. A true Highlands based family business run by people from the area. We're based at 24 Longman Drive in Inverness which is perfectly placed to get out and visit customers across the North of Scotland and beyond.
Our Focus
MCF will have a strong focus on asset finance, and in particular equity release from existing business assets through refinance. That's always been the part of the job I've enjoyed most, and it's where I can best put my experience to work for other people.
120+ Lenders From Day One
Rather than work with a limited number of lenders, we wanted to offer as much of the market as possible. By becoming FCA approved Appointed Representatives of Crystal Business Finance Ltd, we can do exactly that, over 120 funders on the panel from day one. Credit to Dan Kay for making the introduction.
Get in Touch
So, if we've dealt with each other before, it would be great to catch up again and do further business together.
If you've had the same old broker taking you for granted and putting you with the same funder every time for the last 20 years, it's 100% time for a comparison check. Let's have a chat and see what else is out there next time round.
If you've never needed finance before, let's have a chat anyway and see what we can do.
And finally, if you're an accountant, solicitor, business adviser, equipment supplier, or a finance broker specialising in an area we don't cover, there may well be a way for us to work together for the benefit of mutual clients. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
