Funding & Finance

Feel safe and secure in your financial decisions with the help of Astle Paterson’s solicitors. Our corporate team has the experience to advise you on the choices available – be it for funding (for purchase or expansion), or other financial matters.

Advice on funding

Choices regarding funding – equity; loan; mezzanine; asset; and/or invoice discounting – can have a resounding impact not only on your business, but your personal life. It is important that you understand all possible implications, whether you’re funding your business in general or your business premises. Our solicitors will explain every option to you, making sure you feel comfortable with the choices you make.

Dealing with lenders

If you’re not sure you’re getting the best deal, our experienced team will help you out. They have advised on hundreds of cases before, and can see when your lender is insisting on unfair terms. If necessary, we will help negotiate on your behalf.

Dealing with Investors

If you have an investor to fund your business, it is very important that your advisers are experienced and aware of the possible choices.  Astle Paterson’s Corporate Team has over 40 years’ experience in advising both equity funders and businesses receiving equity investment, and will advise you of the best available terms for your needs.  Non-equity investments need to be assessed on a risk-reward basis – and as to alternative funding solutions available.  Astle Paterson regularly advises clearing Banks and other lenders, on loan terms.  Our team will guide you through all such options.

Insurance and taxes

Astle Paterson go above and beyond the role of traditional solicitors with regard to finances. We not only point out the legal implications of financial decisions, but advise you how to get the most out of them. Whether it’s insurance for premises, employees or visitors, or questions regarding taxes, we will ensure you are aware of all the possible liabilities.
