Sam Carroll was very helpful and the time zones she gave us worked out to nearly the day for the completions of what we were doing. Working with institutions can sometimes be very cold however Sam kept confirming the dates which is what happened. Thank you.

Speedy & efficient

From my initial contact, to receiving the documents in the post (my preference) signing and returning them in their prepaid envelope the drawdown money was in my account in 10days. No fuss, no complicated jargon, just total efficiency. If all the employees are as professional as Sam Carroll it’s no wonder you are a top company.

Good efficient service

 Had a prompt response from SLHF when asking for a drawdown from my facility. Explained unexpected circumstances and couldn't have been more helpful. We used Docusign after following guidance to carefully review the necessary terms and conditions. Efficient process and completed couple days later.  Good service, thanks Sam and SLHF.
