In the first instance we would be willing to visit you, your Company and operations to better understand both the support that you envision and the services that we can provide to you to help you achieve your objectives. This initial fact-finding visit would be at a cost of £300 and we would expect to spend a full working day understanding better your position, aims and potential direction of travel for all. A TECL Preliminary Report is produced at this stage as part of the evaluation process.
There will be no obligation following this visit on either side. It is our stated policy to only work with clients that we are confident that we can develop in accordance with their wishes and the requirements of their business. Some clients like time-limited, specific-objective models, whilst others continue to work with us after a decade or more of partnership. We have a number of potential support models, based on both what suits the client and the input required to achieve meaningful Company development. All such support models will come with a clear Commercial Agreement as standard with all clients.
Should you wish to proceed, we will send you a standard TECL Non-Disclosure Agreement in advance of our visit to protect both you and ourselves when sharing Company information.

‘The TECL Senior Consulting Team work together across all projects in a powerful combined support package that ensures that Consulting clients of all shapes and sizes get an unrivalled service based upon their particular circumstances. There is no fixed blueprint, every project is personalised to the needs of the client’.
Please note that TECL now specialise in providing a number of Corporate Finance services that are proving valuable to Consulting clients. These specialised services can include:
TECL is proud to partner with Lloyds Bank to provide Commercial Finance to SME Companies. Many growing business are required to provide 30 days payment terms to their clients. In time the client portfolio or sums involved may become so large that the process requires a financial product to sustain it. In this way Commercial Finance provides up to 90% of the value of any invoice you write to your clients immediately, directly into your banking facility. Products available include Credit Invoice Discounting (CID) and Factoring, depending on requirements and commercial circumstances. CID allows your clients to pay directly into your bank account, whereas Factoring sees a special, transparent bank-managed account set up that your clients pay into and that you can then ‘draw down’ from. Charges may be as low as 2% for such processes depending on circumstances. Any remainder percentage of the invoice total is paid into your account or facility upon full payment by the client. There is also a service provided to chase for bad debts or late payments. Commercial Finance products can be of great value to fast-growing Companies and can prevent over-trading (running out of the cash to fund your business, having more orders than you can afford to service or offering more credit to clients than you can afford to cover from your own cashflow). Commercial Finance is not suitable for everyone, so please do give us a call to discuss your requirements or even just to chat about whether you might need it. We’ll be glad to help you.
If we cannot help you, we will not charge you.
