Our Story
Business Mail Solutions Ltd has operated the Mail Boxes Etc franchise since 2003. Over more than 20 years, we have built an established business serving SMEs, home-office professionals, individuals and corporate clients across central London. Our clients range from Open Ai to English National Opera. We are also particularly popular with and businesses connected to the art and auction sector in Central London such as Christies and Sotheby’s.
A key strength is our expertise in international shipping and logistics helping corporate customers navigate changing shipping regulations and customs clearance requirements. This is especially valuable for businesses sending specialist, valuable or time-sensitive items worldwide.
We are now looking to build on this strong foundation. The £50,000 funding will provide additional working-capital liquidity and enable us to invest in marketing and customer acquisition, helping us attract new customers and continue growing our established business.
Credit Commentary
Business Mail Solutions Limited is an established franchisee of Mail Boxes Etc., having traded since 2003. The business employs 12 staff and is owned and managed by Inan Ors, who has demonstrated a positive personal credit profile. The company holds an Equifax Score Check Grade of B(-), providing further comfort from an external credit assessment perspective. The company has demonstrated consistent trading growth, with turnover increasing to £698k (YE Nov'25: £574k), representing year-on-year growth of approximately 22%. During the same period, the business generated a net profit of £33k and maintained a strong balance sheet position with capital and reserves of £331k. Whilst the net profit margin remains relatively modest at approximately 4.7%, the level of retained reserves provides a solid financial buffer and demonstrates balance sheet resilience. We have reviewed 12 months of Open Banking data, which indicates positive cash flow performance and sufficient affordability to support the proposed borrowing. Bank account activity remained consistent throughout the review period and supports the company's ability to service the proposed facility from ongoing trading operations.
Business Mail Solutions benefits from a well-established franchise model, over 20 years of trading history, positive profitability, strong capital reserves and supportive Open Banking performance. The requested funding of £50,000 over 36 months at 14% interest appears both affordable and creditworthy based on the information reviewed. Key strengths include the established operating history, turnover growth, positive external credit assessment and demonstrated cash flow capacity. The primary credit consideration remains the relatively modest profitability margin, although this is mitigated by the company's strong reserves position and positive affordability assessment.
Working Capital & Liquidity This funding will provide additional working-capital headroom to support day-to-day cash flow, maintain flexibility within the business and allow us to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Due to potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this
investment to be high risk.
What are the key risks?
You could lose the money you invest
Many peer-to-peer (P2P) loans are made to borrowers who can't borrow money from traditional
lenders such as banks. These borrowers have a higher risk of not paying you back.
Advertised rates of return aren't guaranteed. If a borrower doesn't pay you back as agreed, you
could earn less money than expected. A higher advertised rate of return means a higher risk of
losing your money.
These investments can be held in an Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA). An IFISA does not reduce
the risk of the investment or protect you from losses, so you can still lose all your money. It
only means that any potential gains from your investment will be tax free.
You are unlikely to get your money back quickly
Some P2P loans last for several years. You should be prepared to wait for your money to be
returned even if the borrower repays on time.
Some platforms may give you the opportunity to sell your investment early through a 'secondary
market', but there is no guarantee you will be able to find someone willing to buy.
Even if your agreement is advertised as affording early access to your money, you will only get
your money early if someone else wants to buy your loan(s). If no one wants to buy, it could take
longer to get your money back.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky.
Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do
well.
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk-investments.
The P2P platform could fail
If the platform fails, it may be impossible for you to collect money on your loan. It could
take years to get your money back, or you may not get it back at all. Even if the platform has
plans in place to prevent this, they may not work in a disorderly failure.
You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed
regulated firms, does not cover investments in P2P loans. You may be able to claim if you
received regulated advice to invest in P2P, and the adviser has since failed. Try the FSCS
investment protection checker here.
Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance.
If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated platform, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn
more about FOS protection here.
