The Challenge
Finding the right finance to equip your dream clinic may seem like a daunting prospect, especially if the equipment you need is specialist and expensive. But finding a flexible funding solution for just this scenario is the kind of thing we do every day. For example, take The Academy of Aesthetic Regenerative Medicine, founded in January 2018 by consultant, Mr Ali Ghanem. Mr Ghanem is a respected Clinical Senior Lecturer in Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery working for Barts and the London School of medicine – Queen Mary University of London. Mr Ghanem contacted PMD after being referred by a specialist equipment supplier, keen to help Ali realise his dream of starting his own clinic.
The Solution
PMD Business Development Director, Sam Kaberry, handled the financing for Ali. Mr Ghanem commented “Sam’s professional advice has been second to none – not only brokering but she had lots of tips for me as a new business start up. She gave me lots of space and useful advice, acting as a counselling service almost.” That’s the kind of added value service PMD provide to our customers, assessing the need, liaising with suppliers and coming up with the right funding solution. In short, finding the right finance. Because PMD has access to over 50 different funding sources, we can usually get an in principle decision within a very short timeframe – sometimes a few hours – and at very competitive rates too. Funding the clinic was just the start of a great relationship and we have continued to support Ali with his growth plans since.
The Results
Ali said, “PMD Business Finance and Sam in particular have been one of the most important gifts received in my professional life. Sam is quite simply an outstanding human being and I am very happy with the organisation and how the service was delivered.” Sam and the team enjoy working with Ali too “Mr Ghanem is an absolute pleasure to deal with, Jill and I have loved supporting him and his colleagues at The Academy. We have developed a relationship of mutual trust and I look forward to seeing how the business grows from strength to strength with our help. I know that Ali will be a customer for life and that’s a great feeling. It’s just one of the many reasons I love what I do and truly believe in the values we stand for at PMD”.
