“As business owners themselves, Praetura Commercial Finance were very commercial and made immediate decisions to get the deal over the line within a very tight timeframe. The ABL facility and cash flow loan has given us the extra headroom we needed to get the business off to a flying start.”
“We had worked with the team at Praetura Commercial Finance a number of years ago therefore they were on our radar when we were looking to change funders. They were very positive throughout the process and we know from previous experience that we can rely on them to think outside the box.”
“Partnering with Praetura Commercial Finance in this transaction has been an absolute breeze. They are highly commercial and most importantly we can always speak to decision-makers directly without any unnecessary layers of bureaucracy.”
“What sets Praetura Commercial Finance apart from the banks is that you never feel that you are just a number. Right from our initial conversation, their team looked to understand our business and build a positive relationship."
