About Us
During the 1980's Michael Thommes worked for various banks and finance companies and very clearly recognised that there was a distinct lack of forward thinking banks who allowed their Managers little or no flexibility to "stick their neck out" for a good business.
In 1989 he set up General Finance Centre to help businesses achieve their financial goals. GFC specialises in finding a way through red tape to secure almost any amount for your business.
Whether you are a start up with no history, a well established company looking for extra money to expand, cheaper interest rates or even a business with a poor credit history it is our job to find that sometimes elusive source of finance.
Our team of experienced Commercial Finance Managers who personally visit businesses throughout the UK are helping to secure advances for our customers totalling more than £250 million often using long trading relationships with well known financial institutions to arrange funding which would otherwise prove impossible, or at best time consuming to find.
The lending institutions we deal with are often High Street names and are all properly regulated by the appropriate regulatory authorities. With rates as low as 1% over Bank Base and almost any amount from £25,000, now is a great time to borrow money on the markets. Once a few details have been noted our experienced friendly team of Commercial Finance Managers work tirelessly to secure the best source, making it fast and easy from start to finish. We prefer to meet face to face and will therefore travel the length and breadth of the United Kingdom to visit you at your premises in order to gain a real insight into the workings of your business.
Our Managers are understanding business people who do not use hard sell tactics. Whether you choose to telephone, have a meeting at your office, e-mail or fax for further information you are under absolutely no obligation to proceed.
