What is Bank Support?

BankSupport™ is new dedicated service from Baseline that ensures you are fully prepared for those important meetings with your financiers. Our team includes recently retired senior bankers who have spent their careers assessing business customer applications. Their experience, knowledge and advice can make an invaluable contribution to any application made to a bank. This advice combined with our experience of making compelling presentations has already proved to be successful for a number of our clients. In fact these successes have encouraged us to set up BankSupport™ as a dedicated and completely confidential service.

How does it work?

Working with you and your financial advisor, we ask you key questions about your business, its past history, how you have coped over the last 18 months, your future plans and what strategy you have in place if there are significant changes in your marketplace. We then set out the responses in a compelling way that makes sense to bankers.

We take your financial information and present it in a way that shows your bankers that not only do you understand your business but more importantly you understand their business.

Finally, you have the opportunity to make your presentation in a trial setting with an experienced banker which will give you the opportunity to understand the type of questions that are likely to be asked.

Why use Bank Support?

Banks receive hundreds of applications daily and it is easy to be lost in the crowd. BankSupport™ will ensure that your applications stands out, is easy to read, is formatted in a way that is familiar to bankers and makes their assessment easier. The application will be packaged in a manner that allows you to include persuasive content about your history, current situation and your ambitions. This will give you a far better chance of success. Remember you may not be meeting with someone who is familiar with your particular case so you cannot afford to have vital information ‘lost in translation’.
