If you are thinking of whether to choose FTA Finance or not, I hope this helps you to make a decision you will not regret. I used FTA for their service in purchasing my first business. Although I know the business inside out, I needed guidance in securing the finances, and this is where James, Sarah and the team at FTA comes in. From my initial conversation to my almost year-long process to complete on the purchase, the team demonstrated great knowledge, skill, care and commitment to helping me to secure funding, as well as providing me with the support and guidance needed. They have great relationships with a variety of banks, solicitors, accountants and other professionals who were as brilliant as they recommended! Honestly they just know what they are doing and do it well! The efficiency of their services is unmatched, and I will forever be grateful to them for helping to make my lifelong dream come true! Choose FTA, you won’t regret it!

David and his team did a fantastic job at securing funding for our practice purchase. I am not sure we would have secured the funding without them.

I'd like to give a massive thank you to David Brewer, Helen Skinner, Christine Hawes and the rest of the team at FTA! I have recently completed the daunting process of buying into a dental practice for the first time and the support they gave me was excellent and reassuring at all times. I was worried finding finance would be difficult and stressful but David made it so easy! Everything was explained to me throughout and they were always only ever a friendly phone call away! Helen was brilliant in chasing up solicitors, accountants and lenders and keeping me informed throughout all the whole journey. Christine arranged my life cover for me again with minimal stress. I would recommend FTA to everyone!

I started my journey with FTA finance when I met David Brewer and Helen Skinner at London Vet Show in 2021. They are both very professional and highly experienced. They have been the backbone and support system throughout the practice purchase process. I honestly believe they went well above and beyond what was expected of them throughout the process.

James and the rest of the team at FTA have been fantastic. initially when starting the deal it was looking more and more likely that we would not be able to complete on the purchase, however with the help of James we were put in touch with a few banks and finally a few months down the line completed on the pharmacy. Throughout the whole process FTA were by my side to assist where needed and eventually push the deal along

I could not recommend James Yates @FTA Finance enough. As a first time Practice Owner, I simply could not have done it without him. Not only was he able to secure multiple offers for funding, but he was also supportive throughout the entire process up until the very last minute.Over the period of nearly two years, James was always the first responder, the first to offer support. If i was start all over again, James would still be my first point of contact.I am happy for any dentist to contact me and i can tell them more about my journey, Just ask FTA finance to get you in touch with me. If you are a first time buyer and not sure where to start, you cannot go wrong with the decision of getting James to assist you!! Look no further

I have used FTA finance for the second time and have sincerely been so fortunate to have had the support of David Brewer and his team with the purchase of the practice in 2015 and now with the purchase of the freehold.David’s professionalism, knowledge, extensive experience and extremely high standard of service is invaluable. I have no words to express my gratitude for his support . He has shown genuine care and always been there to guide, support and calm me down when I was having queries or difficulties understanding some parts of the process. Nothing was too much for him and amazingly enough he always had an answer. I am forever grateful.During the freehold purchase, I have also had the pleasure of working with Helen Skinner which as well has shown such professionalism, support and care. David and Helen as a team are impressively professional and extremely efficient. They provide top class service and are a great asset for FTA finance . I am more than grateful for David’s and Helen's support during the purchase of this freehold.I have no hesitation in recommending FTA Finance and particularly David Brewer who is the guru of all finance and business matters.

I would highly recommend Jim Moran and FTA if you need assistance in securing finance for a practice purchase. Jim was there to answer my questions at all hours and fought my corner throughout the whole process. I honestly don't think I would have been able to purchase the practice if it had not been for Jim . Best choice I made .
