Mark Watts

My back ground lays firmly in commercial banking having spent 16 years working for HSBC. As a commercial relationship manger I worked with and supported SME in South Wales by funding their growth.

The portfolio was sector agnostic which means I have abroad view on business across all sectors, ranging from healthcare to manufacturing, hotels and restaurants to franchises.

Being the co founder of EST Commercial finance we saw an opportunity to support SMEs to understand finance and how important it can be within a business. We work with SME from all sectors to support them in getting ready for investment and provide guidance in the most appropriate structure for any such funding.

Having worked within a large corporate environment and now an SME ourselves we are uniquely placed to provide a strong overview on the theory and practical application of growing a business, understanding the impacts that small decisions can make and, worse so, not making a decision.

Business top-tip

No business has ever succeeded without a lot of hard work.  Surround yourself with good people and focus on the things you can actually change.
