Stephen McConalogue, Finance Consultant at Christie Finance, helped guide the buyer and source the best funding to fit his requirements.

The client had worked in the retail sector for several years and identified this busy convenience store in Airdrie Town Centre as a great opportunity for his first business, which was available for sale through Christie & Co.

Stephen commented: "I am delighted that I could help Chauhan secure the finance for him to buy his first business. Even though he had limited experience managing a business, I was able to demonstrate his key strengths to lenders and secure the required finance."

"Across Scotland, we are seeing increasingly competitive rates and terms from lenders and Christie Finance are helping a growing number of buyers secure their first business."
