To put our clients at ease, we even give a 0% finance option if a service or repair costs more than they have budgeted for.

What’s great about our company is that, unlike many other independent garages, we update the digital history with the main dealer for our clients, allowing them to keep a full-service history and protect any warranties in place.

Credit Risk Comments:
This is an established growing business with improved profitability, EBITDA and no borrowing on the balance sheet. Gross margin has increased from 42% to 47%. The accounts do not appear to have been prepared by an accountant however the bank statements demonstrate good cash generation. The director is providing a personal guarantee, this means that if the business fails the directors become personally liable for the loan. The directors is a homeowner, however this does not ensure there are sufficient assets should the loan need to be recovered. There have been no CCJs for the business or directors.
