This report is tailored to meet the business’s specific needs and to reflect its current circumstances. This report should be kept with the:

·  Commercial Finance Client Agreement and Disclosure Document

The above documents were given to you during the course of our meetings and should be retained with the offer of finance once it arrives. The advice given was based on the Commercial Loan Fact Find that we completed together.

You should carefully check that the information is correct and note any revisions that need to be made due to any changes in your circumstances.
