How it started.
We were founded in 2011 for one reason - we had a real desire to help businesses in need. Finance is tricky after all, but we saw a gap in the market. We saw that people weren’t getting the financial help they required, so we formed TML to help change that.
By providing completely independent and impartial advice about asset-backed business finance, we wanted to help businesses better understand their options in the finance market. But, and here’s the big question, what experience do we have that qualifies us to give you this advice? What position could we possibly be in to help? Well, this is what we’re most proud of.
