We went on to launch, scale and sell on several companies of our own, before deciding to establish Ideal4Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listening to small businesses over the years, we\u2019d come to realise that there was often one thing holding them back, and that was the ability to offer their customers a flexible payment option. When it came to customer finance, small businesses could rarely compete with their larger rivals, and we made it our mission to level that playing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost fifteen years later, we feel privileged to have helped thousands of businesses across the UK with integrated, cost-effective customer finance solutions. &nbsp;We look after everything for them, including FCA registration and reporting, so they don\u2019t have to do it themselves. It\u2019s a vital part of our service because smaller businesses don\u2019t tend to have their own compliance teams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being authorised and regulated by the FCA, we have to keep on our toes, and we always keep our clients up to date with changes in FCA policy and any developments in the wider financial world that could impact them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another great advantage is that, when their customers use the finance option, our clients get paid in full, whichever model they are on. That\u2019s the best part for many of our smaller partners; they can get on with running their business whilst we look after the repayments. We say it\u2019s hassle-free and we mean it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve worked hard to build a reputation for trust and outstanding service, and it\u2019s always really rewarding when our clients tell us how we have helped them increase sales and win more customers. Since the pandemic, and with continuing economic uncertainty, it\u2019s more important than ever for businesses to give their customers a choice of payment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are challenging times for businesses of all sizes, and we will continue to do all we can to provide smaller companies with the resilience and flexibility they need to help them thrive in a demanding marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read a case study of one of our small business clients, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ideal4finance.com\/retail-finance-is-definitely-attractive-to-prospective-customers\/\">click here<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read more about Ideal4Finance, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideal4finance.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">click here<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Small Business Saturday approaching, our CEO Noel Corcoran explains how helping small and medium sized businesses was the reason behind Ideal4Finance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Helping small businesses achieve big results - Ideal4Finance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Helping small businesses to thrive was the reason behind Ideal4Finance coming into being.
