Great! Let's talk...
One thing is for sure is that during bad times it’s the people who step in to the room to offer solutions not the ones who step outside that you want long term relationships with. Many jobs in a number of businesses have been preserved due to the unseen efforts of Metis Funding.
Durham Retail Displays Ltd
Metis is a very well run organisation who I would highly recommend. Their communication is first class and they always make time for their clients. Paula is very prompt in correspondence and is always very helpful.
G United LTD
Before our business started working with Metis Funding Solutions (MFS), we were struggling with cash flow caused by clients not paying on time, David and Paula quickly sourced a competitive invoice finance facility in a sector where others had failed before.
David has assisted me in moving forward in the correct direction with my businesses. I would not hesitate to recommend working with MFS, who listen to your business requirements and support you through your chosen route for your business

Willowdale Ltd
Before our business started working with Metis Funding Solutions (MFS), - we were struggling with finding lenders due to our lack of trading history and financial accounts.
Since working with MFS, they have helped me to obtain funding for my properties in a very prompt timeframe..
I highly recommend MFS if you’re wanting to sit down with genuine people who take on board your personal circumstances. Ultimately, I will be using Dave & Paula for all my financing requirements for the foreseeable future and can't speak highly enough of what they have done for me.
