Access to Finance | Cornwall & IoS Business Support

Finance is a tricky topic that can take some skill to navigate successfully. That’s where we come in.

We’re not here to host another same-old seminar, you know the one where you glaze over ten minutes in? We introduce experts who work one-to-one with you and coach you through financial growth, reducing the overwhelm of cash flow forecasts and profit and loss. We demystify the money.

Customer Journey

We’ve got 30 years experience of supporting entrepreneurs just like you. We work with both new and established companies who want to learn about what is right financially for their business as well as high growth companies looking to raise investment.

We’re fully funded meaning you don’t pay for our service but we do ask for an investment in your time and energy. In exchange we offer full support, introducing you to a host of specialists and working with you one-to-one in your business, not just preaching in front of a Powerpoint presentation but rolling up our sleeves alongside you and getting you financially fit.

Our expertise plus your entrepreneurialism equates to the perfect team, adding real clarity when it comes to the cash. Now that’s what we call a contribution!

Client Testimonials

“The support has been incredible. We have also now attended Excel training and cashflow creation support with Oxford Innovation. Chris Oliver has been instrumental in creating the cashflows which have not only provided an essential part of the business plan for presentation to potential investors but also in helping us be realistic and be able to plan ahead. As we now face a crisis in launching our business due to Coronavirus it will also help us evaluate and strategise our next move.

I recommend this workshop to anyone regardless of experience in business. There will always be something new you will learn and the ongoing business support has been extraordinary. We have successfully used what we have learned to attain a private loan with Exeter Finance and are now well informed about small loans we can access to help us that might help us at this difficult time.”

Kate and Tony Elliott-Cannon, Elliott-Cannon Associates

“Gregg has provided my business with some really incredibly useful help and financial advice. It has really given me the opportunity to expand my business. I have to say it was hard to top the first webinar presented by Gregg and John, but he really managed to.”

David Cook, Seefood Ltd

“The help from Chris and the A2F team was exactly what we needed at the right time. I am great at ideas but not great at stuff like detailed budgets and cash flow, Chris helped me put together an incredibly detailed and clever spreadsheet that no doubt gave our investors confidence and help give transparency to the financial side of the business. Five stars.”

Toby Budd, Workfloat

“I would like to say thank you for your help obtaining the offer from BIG2, ours was one of the largest bids made at £150,000, the depth of interrogation from the panel was relentless and the detail required to succeed surprising to say the least . I cannot imagine how we would have been successful in the bid without your help and assistance. I had no prior experience applying for grant funding but your patience, dedication, knowledge and understanding of the rules and regulations was in my mind essential and without it I don’t believe we would have the positive outcome.

I appreciate that you always go above and beyond, calls and emails always answered, problems identified and solutions found.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you on future projects.”
