The business approached Paragon for support when the first wave of coronavirus hit and demand for the business’ services reduced. A cash flow injection was needed to ensure that payments could still be made to suppliers and that Jet Clean could continue to pay its staff.
Paragon has had a long-standing relationship with Jet Clean, previously supporting the business with invoice financing.
Raymond Lord, managing director at Jet Clean, said: “The support that Paragon was able to provide was vital in ensuring that we were able to maintain cash flow when the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Without the CBILS loan, I don’t know if we would still be trading. We did have to make some redundancies and furlough staff due to the pandemic, as workload dropped quite a lot but the support from Paragon prevented the impact being any worse.
