Giles Codrington
Business Finance for Business People
Before joining ASC in 1985, Giles worked for a subsidiary company of BP who sponsored him through university.
A consummate finance professional, Giles now heads the London office, as well as covering areas of the UK not currently served by an individual office.
Giles has tremendous experience, backed by a success record envied by the whole industry, which he is only too happy to share with his clients.

Our team here in London have a strong commercial background and real experience.
They are able to understand what is important for you and your business and are equipped to arrange the right finance for you and your business.

One of the most challenging aspects when it comes to raising commercial finance, is knowing which lenders have the right appetite for that particular deal. Having been raising business finance in London for many years, we know which banks have the appetite for investment properties, property developments, business purchases, or working capital finance.
You might know the banks that don’t lend, we know the banks that do!
So whatever industry you are in, from retail units, to property developers and pubs and restaurants to name a few, we have access to the key decision makers at the various lenders who can successfully provide the right finance for you.
As business finance brokers we will take the time to listen to you and to understand your business so we can approach the appropriate lenders on your behalf.
To put it simply We take the hassle out of arranging finance for your business, so that you can concentrate on what is most important to you: to successfully develop and run your business.

“Thanks Giles for all your help in getting us the finance in place for our development. It wouldn’t have been possible without your assistance”
“We were unable to get finance to buy our off-license from our bank, and didn’t know which way to go next. Fortunately, our accountant put us in touch with Giles at ASC Finance for Business, London, who knew a lender who was able to help us to buy the shop”
“Straight-forward, and no-nonsense. I’ll come straight back to Giles for any future commercial finance I may need”

OUR SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD
Our client Paul Hughes was introduced to ASC by his mortgage broker. Our client had obtained planning permission to construct 14 apartments, ranging from one to three bedrooms, on an unencumbered development site.
ASC approached various development lenders and successfully found a lender to offer Paul the required development finance to commence works on the project. The project has successfully been completed.
Another success story for ASC.
