The pandemic has both helped and hindered businesses. It seems hard to believe, but some companies formed during the pandemic and helped other companies capitalize on it during the turbulent period. One of them was Hexa financewho have now been operating as a company for a year.

Hexa finance is a dynamic financial services and advisory firm specializing in helping customers finance business-critical devices and gaining access to a range of other credit products.

Ben Davies, co-founder of Hexa finance chats with Business News Wales about some of the key business lessons the company learned in its first year.

Ben says:

“Our business started in August last year, but the planning started long before that! In 2016, my business partner and I were working for an asset finance lender in Bristol when we were unfortunately laid off due to a change of direction. “

Ben adds that

“It might sound a bit strange starting a business during a pandemic, but [they] found this decision relatively easy for a number of reasons. After going through a layoff and watching lenders change direction and appetite, [they] wanted to control [their] own fate. “

Ben describes how at Hexa finance, the team provides financial products and advisory services built on decades of experience with some of the largest global lessors and respected independent financiers. He emphasizes how Hexa Finance’s smarter lending solutions enable businesses of all sizes to access the financing and advisory services they need to meet their challenges and achieve their goals.

But what advice would Ben give to other companies that started during the pandemic?

“When we started Hexa, I wrote a blog series describing how to start a business in lockdown. Creating a business plan, talking to people etc. only helps you so far, but when you actually start learning begins. “

Ben describes how his team has benefited from working with other local companies providing outsourced services that have helped Hexa grow.

“When it comes to direct customers, there is really no bias about the types of customers we support. Over the past 12 months we’ve helped all types of businesses get funding. We were excited to help those hardest hit by the pandemic. The most important thing for us is that the equipment our customers buy makes sense! “
