Right now, I hope that my positive energy and attitude are uplifting the team and contributing to TSF's promising future.

5. What’s one thing that’s surprised you working at TSF? 

The overwhelmingly positive and supportive work environment was a pleasant surprise for me. It's rare to find such positivity and camaraderie in a workplace, and I quickly felt at home and valued within the team.

6. What’s a work-related accomplishment you’re really proud of?

Prior to joining TSF, I spent five years as an MMA fighter and became a qualified sports coach. I'm immensely proud of this accomplishment as it has equipped me with invaluable skills such as confidence, resilience, and perseverance, which I continue to apply in my current role.

Over the past few years, I've undergone significant personal growth and continue to evolve into the person I aspire to be. While it may not be a tangible achievement, I take pride in knowing that I'm continually progressing and becoming the best version of myself.

8. In your opinion, what makes TSF Finance stand out from its competitors?

While I'm still learning about our competitors, I believe that TSF's strength lies in the diverse skill set and extensive knowledge base of our team members. This allows us to tackle complex transactions with confidence and precision, setting us apart in the industry.

9. What upcoming trends/news/updates in your industry do you think will likely impact the industry in the next five years?

The lingering effects of COVID-19 will continue to shape the industry, along with geopolitical events such as conflicts and trade disruptions. Additionally, as small and medium-sized enterprises face economic challenges, there will be an increased demand for funding solutions to navigate uncertain times.

10. In the current climate, what advice can you give to business owners with regards to their funding challenges?

It's essential for business owners to maintain meticulous financial records and stay on top of regulatory requirements such as taxes. Don't hesitate to consider business loans as a tool for growth, even during stable periods. Interest rates can be daunting, but leveraging financing options strategically can propel your business forward.
