I was fortunate enough to have Ollie as my advisor during the process of getting my Startup Loan approved. Ollie has helped and assist me during the entire process giving advise and make recommendations to ensure I get the best possible outcome. I was really struggling but Ollie helped with writing my business plan and give advise and tips how to do my Cash Flow Plan. I became frustrated at times but Ollie was always there to give advise making the entire process less stressful and easy to understand. He is very knowledgeable with a wealth of experience always willing and available to help. I will without doubt recommend him for all your financial need.

I needed a loan to help start my new business. Ollie was assigned to me. He made the process very easy. He explained clearly what I needed to do to improve my business. With his help I was approved the loan. Absolutely buzzing. People say business is business, not personal. But for me it is personal… Who we do business with personally, affects us for better or worse. And Ollie was a really nice bloke to work with. Absolute pleasure and he really helped me. What more could I ask 🙏

Ollie Collard gave excellent support to our application for the Virgin Start-up Loan. He was personally committed, professional, and responsive to all our needs. At all times he listened to our perspectives and provided credible solutions and encouragement whenever we reached an impasse. Ollie gave useful feedback on our Business Plan and our Cashflow forecast, and saw us through to a successful submission and final approval. We commend his tenacity and objectivity.

Ollie's support was crucial for us as a startup. He was patient, attentive, and provided a fresh perspective for reapproaching how we framed our business model.

He was also a fountain of knowledge, providing useful insights into understanding and distinguishing between key elements of a start-up.

I would definitely recommend Ollie to anyone needing support towards getting their business plan and financial forecast to a fundable position.

Ollie Collard helped me complete my start up loans application.

Fantastic experience, and highly recommend to everyone looking to take a first time start up loan. Great communication from minute he was assigned as business manager. The help and advice received was very helpful and very clear including a helpful video of where I needed to make corrections. With all his help i was granted the loan within a week. I’d like to thank Ollie for all his advice and help.

Fantastic experience, anyone who is to take a start up loan and is assigned Ollie you are in great hands.

Thanks again!

I cannot explain how grateful I am to Ollie for all the many many hours he put in, helping me with my start-up business loan application, which today , I found out I have been awarded! Being a small business is daunting at the best of times, but Ollie has been pivotal in helping me get the loan - which will hopefully be my opportunity to really push my business forward. Ollie was incredibly professional, super responsive, supportive and gave me all the help and guidance I could have asked for. THANK YOU OLLIE!

Ollie was very professional while dealing with my application. Our communication went smooth and on point. He responded to all my questions and provided the right information I needed. He helped me to improve my Business Plan and Cash Flow Forecast. I would have not been able to complete my application without him. Many thanks again!
