Our network

# Our service goes beyond our office door

The difference is working with our clients, not just for them.

Sometimes that means being honest when we aren't what you need. When that happens, we don't leave you to find someone on your own. Over the years we've built a network of people we trust: solicitors, financial advisers, banks, funders and investors. We know they'll look after you with the same care we would.

And because we make the introduction ourselves, you're never going in blind.

What it means for you
## How we look after you

### We work with you, not just for you

We get to know you and your business, not just your numbers. That's how we spot what you need before you have to ask.

### We're honest when we're not the right fit

If a question needs a lawyer, an adviser or a specialist, we'll say so. We'd rather point you to the right person than stretch to be the wrong one.

### We refer to people we trust

We only introduce you to people whose service we know first-hand, so the same care you get from us carries on with them.

### You're never going in blind

With your permission, we brief them first. You arrive with the background shared and the right questions ready.

Our network
## Who we can introduce you to

### Business and corporate solicitors

Shareholder agreements, buying or selling a business, contracts and disputes.

### Personal and family solicitors

Wills, probate, property and the personal side of business decisions.

### Financial advisers

Pensions, investments, protection and planning for what comes after the business.

### Banks and funders

Business accounts, loans, asset finance and the right lender for what you're planning.

### Investors and founder networks

When you're ready to raise, introductions to people who back businesses like yours.

### Specialist tax and legal advice

For the unusual questions, we work alongside specialists in tax, law and other areas of accounting.

Making the introduction
## How an introduction works

1. **We listen first**
   We talk through what's going on and what you're trying to achieve.

1. **We tell you who we'd suggest, and why**
   You decide whether to go ahead. There's no pressure either way.

1. **We make the introduction**
   With your permission, we share the background so you don't have to explain everything twice.

1. **We stay involved**
   We keep the numbers joined up, so the advice you get fits the whole picture.
