Essentially, this will mean a broker-led operation with a focus
on “soft” assets such as catering equipment and shop and office
fittings, concentrating on ticket sizes between £5,000

Briscoe stressed that Close Business Finance will have its
eye very much more on quality then on quantity of business, but
still anticipates lending £15-18 million in its first year.
