An Amazing Experience for short term Finance

Personal Review of CTI Financiers Danie Halgryn CEO & Founder Kevo Project Management Having partnered with CTI Financiers, for more than five years, across our group of Companies, one gains a rare and invaluable perspective. You truly come to understand who you dealing with in business. In all my years as an entrepreneur, I have not encountered another Financial institution, who invests the time and effort, to genuinely understand my vision, my strengths and limitations and my specific business needs. Many of the opportunities I pursue, are ‘explosive’ in nature. They arise suddenly, often when I am called in, to rescue mismanaged projects, where critical decisions and immediate funding, are non-negotiable. One such an example, involved a Tender, exceeding R100 million, to complete a 15-storey Commercial building. Multi-million-Rand funding was required, within a matter of days. CTI’s CEO, Mike Russon, met with me on a Monday morning. By Friday, the required payments had been made. Without his decisive leadership and the highly competent Management team supporting him, that contract would have been lost. That experience alone, speaks volumes about CTI’s efficiency, integrity and ability to execute under pressure. One of CTI’s greatest advantages, is that they buy me time… something I simply do not have. They effectively manage my entire financial “engine room,” allowing me to focus on what I do best: execution and delivery. This level of support, is invaluable to any high-growth business. Could I qualify for funding with traditional Banks?Certainly, in different circumstances. However, my most recent experience with a major Bank, was the final confirmation that CTI, is in a league of its own. Despite fulfilling all my obligations, on a completed Commercial development, payment of several million rand, was delayed for six months, with one excuse after the other. I am done with Banks, that treat entrepreneurs like numbers. They drag out processes, request endless documentation in fragmented stages, show little interest in your growth journey, impose rigid lending caps and ultimately, over-promise and under-deliver. In contrast, Mike Russon, listens. He ensures that he understands the mechanics of a project, makes a decision within 24 hours and within the next 48 hours, his team completes due-diligence and finalizes the details. Within a week, you are ready to proceed. As every businessperson knows, time is money. I confidently and unequivocally, endorse CTI Financiers, as the ideal Financial partner for businesses that: -Require decisive responses within 24 hours -Seek to grow their Debtors book by over 300%, without additional security -Value direct access to a CEO, who is a serial Entrepreneur, understands real-world business challenges, opens doors when needed and treats clients with respect and integrity CTI is not just a Financier. They are a strategic partner. Their service, ethics and efficiency, set a benchmark in the industry. Yours in business and satisfied client Danie Halgryn
