How engineering finance specialist helps clients continue to thrive
Founded 45 years ago in 1976 , Erimus Securities has earned a unique position in the marketplace for its work in assisting and promoting the continuation of engineering and related companies .
The company ’ s name translates from the Latin as “ We shall be ”, which is also Middlesbrough ’ s motto and appears beneath the lion rampant on the town ’ s coat of arms .
It ’ s a name that seems only fitting for a firm that works hand in hand with its clients to enable them to continue trading successfully .
Erimus , which is based at Bowesfield Crescent , Stockton , specialises in assisting SMEs that have difficulty obtaining bank finance on a long-term basis .
No deposit is required and the firm doesn ’ t seek a personal guarantee or ask for three years of balance sheets – in fact , it doesn ’ t even ask for one .
Instead , security is provided by way of its clients ’ existing plant and equipment , allowing them to continue
to flourish without their businesses being interrupted or put under additional financial strain .
“ Our charges are usually based on a four-year agreement and are without question the lowest in the industry ,” said founder Barney Ord , who has been a well-known and respected figure in the Teesside community for many years .
“ Our rates are decided on the quality and value of the equipment , as opposed to your ability to pay .”
It ’ s an approach that has helped countless engineering and related companies both in the Teesside area , the wider North-East and throughout the country over the last four and a half decades .
