Guest Speaker

Chamber Member Let's Do Business

Elaine Robinson - Business Finance Manager

After leaving her job at NatWest, following an incredible 41-year history, Elaine wanted to continue working in business finance support. She says there’s nothing better than hearing the worry and tension disappear from a client’s voice as she works with them to provide a solution to whatever their issue/dilemma is. When asked what she values about Let’s Do Business Finance, she said it's that they form a strong ongoing relationship with their clients, built on trust and a full understanding of not just their business but also of themselves as the key drivers of the business.

Now, her day-to-day activities consist of helping clients who are seeking business finance by identifying their needs and then finding a solution, using her network of contacts built up over the years from her banking career. She specialises in Growth, Working Capital, and Asset Purchase funding requests, and stays connected with past clients to see where she can further assist as they grow.

Elaine's talk will cover the types of loans Let's Do Business offers under the Start-Up Loan scheme, also the Growth Guarantee Scheme, and what makes a ‘good’ application.
