Switched a new client of mine to FNB business bank

I Brendan Gilpin, a business manager that works with small to medium enterprises.<br> I recently switched a new client to start Business banking at FNB as their service is generally great compared to other banks<br> All went well until I wanted to get the business property re bonded. It has no mortgage and no Liens on it and I told FNB upfront (A new business advisor Monief Schroder ) this was a way to raise some capital for expansion<br> That is until I went to see Avish Gukal and was told that although the assets where 100% the business had only been trading for a year and although has a set of financials the bank could not even consider re bonding the property, valued at R2.85 million plus the assets.<br> How can this possibly be helping small to medium businesses. They have no debt at all and assets valued way beyond what they wanted to raise.<br> I will go elsewhere now, I cannot see other lenders having any issue with this,but it is extremely embarrassing and unprofessional.<br> I have ,unfortunately already set up the client invoices to go through this new FNB account and now will change it ,again, to another bank .<br> I must add also this is the second client I have taken to FNB and the last
