About Alison

An experienced business finance broker, and qualified Chartered Accountant,  I assist SME owners get access to the  commercial, business and property finance markets in Scotland. If you’re a small business owner who is on the lookout for a commercial mortgage, any type of property investment finance or business re-financing, then I can assist you.

My team and I work across Scotland from our three bases; Edinburgh, Perth and Glasgow. We take the time to understand our clients and their requirements, meeting face-to-face where possible. No call centres, just simple direct communication and a commitment to delivering the highest standards of customer service.

We work with clients across sectors, but we have a notable specialty in the leisure sector; where we’ve helped B&Bs, hotels and caravan parks obtain commercial finance and arranged refinancing for restaurants and cafes across Scotland.

We’ve helped property developers get the right finance for single new-build properties, for refurbishments and commercial conversions, and property investment finance for large, multi-unit builds.

I am terribly fortunate to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Scotland, and outside of ASC you’ll find me on the golf course, or running, biking, and hiking.
