Experience from building a business.
Alex Gerrard founded a car finance company in 2017 while still playing professional rugby league. Having since exited that business, he now leads GLOPEX Asset Finance and offers consultancy to like-minded people navigating business challenges.
His approach combines first-hand experience of business ownership with the preparation, resilience and commitment developed through professional sport.
Start with a conversation.
- Tell Alex what is happening. Share a brief outline of your business, your challenge or opportunity and the outcome you are working towards.
- Discuss the right scope. Establish whether consultancy, a finance enquiry or input from another specialist is appropriate.
- Agree the next steps. The work, responsibilities and any applicable fees will be discussed before you decide whether to proceed.

Your questions, answered.
Do I need a loan to enquire?
No. You can discuss a business challenge or seek consultancy support without making a finance application.
Is there a consultancy fee?
The scope of any work and applicable fees will be discussed and agreed before paid work begins. Sending an initial enquiry does not commit you to a paid engagement.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Briefly describe your business, the challenge or opportunity, what you would like to achieve and your timeframe. Start with a high-level outline; supporting documents can be discussed later.
