"Since I started working with Mike, I have always seen him go over and beyond for his clients to make sure they get the right solution, not just the quickest one. Always reachable over phone, email, or any other channel. Mike takes his time to understand not only the client’s needs, but also the lenders criteria and the benefits every individual lender offers in the market. We have worked on multiple applications for TP24 together and has always been a great experience from start till end for the client, but also us. Recommend him for any support on business loan applications."
TP24 Testimonials
Kevin Vendel
Commercial Director at TP24
"I have worked with Mike Sampson on a regular basis for the past 18 months on various funding opportunities. Over the past 12 months in particular Mike and I have supported businesses following the sudden withdrawal of a high street lenders IF product. This event left many of their banks clients/customers in a need of urgent and critical refinancing. Mike and I successfully coordinated the transfer of the clients that were considered best fit for both Paragon Bank and the client according to their sector, service requirements and funding needs. We jointly structured the correct funding solutions that met their needs both now and on going. When dealing with clients, Mike is courteous, prompt and diligent throughout the entire process. Mike keeps in touch with existing clients on a regular basis (typically each quarter), ensuring that they are happy with the facility provided and service levels they are getting. Mike provide valuable feedback to both client and lender to ensure the relationships run smoothly. Whilst the majority of the facilities were well structured and appropriately priced on one occasion a client raised an issue, this was feedback to myself promptly and dealt with without delay. Mike has a diverse skillset in complex structuring/restructuring, ranging from start ups to SME's and blue chip PLC companies, and tailoring financial products suitable to client requirements, however his specialism is within the invoice finance sector, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a valued and trusted introducer."

Satago Testimonials
Tom Reilly
Lender at Satago
"I have known Mike for 6 years as an employee, tenant, friend and latterly as an introducer of business. Mike has in depth product knowledge of the whole range of invoice finance and secured lending services for SME's, as well as a range of knowledge in products which we don't happen to fund. He also has significant operational experience in running complex contractual debt exposures as well as similar experience with 'sell and forget' debt and the surrounding intricacies of running a financial arrangement around that. He is diligent and hard working with an excellent client facing manner, with the added quality of tenacity to drive a deal over the line. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike as a person putting client service to the forefront of his business, not only in caring for the client during the fund-raising journey, but also with the appropriate knowledge to deliver a successful business conclusion."
