Entrepreneurs Circle is the UK’s home of entrepreneurship, a place where business owners can go to get the practical help they need to succeed and start growing. Founded by Nigel Botterill over 17 years ago as one of 15 separate million-pound businesses in the UK, the business seeks to help other ambitious, small entrepreneurs to build the business they want.
Challenge
Entrepreneurs Circle wanted to fit-out their new headquarters, making it a space that is reflective of their brand and personality, and creating a collaborative environment that fostered creative energy for their staff and clients. Rather than paying for the project in one large lump sum, Entrepreneurs Circle decided to consider finance for their furniture and fit out, providing them with the opportunity to spread the cost over a period whilst maintaining capital within the business for further investment and growth.
Solution
With the business being on a trajectory of substantial growth, they needed to move at pace with limited disruption to the office environment, enabling them to continue providing a high-level service to their customers. Working with Bluestone helped them to access a finance facility that played a pivotal role in getting them the space they dreamed of without having to part with a large amount of upfront investment.
“Sorting the finance for our new HQ should’ve been a headache. Instead, thanks to Bluestone, it was refreshingly simple — and quite enjoyable. Their team were brilliant from start to finish. Clear, straight-talking, ridiculously helpful, and always delivered in those dulcet Yorkshire tones that somehow make everything feel calmer.” Cameron Botterill, Managing Director, Entrepreneurs Circle.
Entrepreneurs Circle decided to move forward with a finance lease to fund 100% of the project cost whilst also accessing 100% tax benefits.
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Entrepreneurs Circle – as a business they are truly inspiring, and they deserved a headquarters that matched their energy, enthusiasm and dedication to supporting businesses grow. The space looks great and I’m glad we were able to support Nigel, Cameron and the team in achieving a HQ they are proud of.” Lou Harris, Key Account & Interiors Director, Bluestone
“They opened doors to funding options we’d never have been able to access on our own. No stress, no drama, just solutions. Because of them, we’ve built a genuinely world-class HQ. If you’re doing a big project and don’t want the finance side to drain the life out of you, speak to Lou & Nichola”. Cameron Botterill, Managing Director, Entrepreneurs Circle.
