What our clients say

With a rapidly expanding manufacturing business and cashflow a constant problem, our bank wouldn’t offer further borrowing, expensive short-term loans seemed the only answer. Fortus took time to understand our business and requirements, presented our story to lenders and had 4 offers within 2 weeks, saving us £20,000 per month in debt repayment.
