Platform Black Goodman Introducer Case Study April 2013

Invoice Trading delivers Cashflow on Demand, on a PAYG basis Here's how it works for Goodman Corporate Consultancy clients. As Paul Goodman says; "Platform Black is such a valuable addition to our kitbag. We complete about five invoice finance deals a month, from small deals up to large facilities, but we do frequently come up against the objection that invoice finance is expensive and that it's not flexible because you're tied in to a one, two or three-year contract. The clients of ours who've used Platform Black have said: "What a fantastic alternative, because we're not tied into a contract and we can pick and choose when and what we fund." "The point is that this service keeps them in control of their finances which in this environment is extremely hard to do. A lot of the SMEs we deal with tell us they don't feel in control of their finances -- they spend most of their time dealing with the banks instead of actually running the business, whereas using Platform Black puts control firmly back into the management team, which is brilliant. With any kind of finance there's a bit of work to go through at the beginning, but nowhere near what you'd have to go through with a traditional funder -- we turn round deals in less than a week on Platform Black and typically with a traditional funder you're talking four weeks." In addition to running Goodman Corporate Consultancy, Paul Goodman is also vice-chairman of the National Association of Corporate Finance Brokers.
