With sporting and fundraising events taking a huge hit throughout the country, Coronavirus also put a stop to the Dealer Net Finance team’s charity push in 2020.

As we head through the summer months the Dealer Net Finance team should have been at full fitness as they looked to compete in two huge events for charity, The Great North Bike Ride in August & the 40th anniversary of the Great North Run in September.

But with both events cancelled and concern that a local charity was set to lose out this year a new challenge needed to be set.

So, Dealer Net Finance staff member Kavan Young & Sam Musgrave, son of Dealer Net Finance MD Howard, decided to take part in the GNR Solo challenge to help raise money for local charity The Clarke Lister Brain Haemorrhage Foundation.

The GNR Solo challenge was set up by the organisers of the Great North Run, to help raise money for charities that may miss out due to this year’s event being called off.

The challenge will see Kavan & Sam take on 40 runs, a significant number as this year would have been the 40th anniversary of the Great North Run, in 78 days, earning individual awards for separate milestones they pass along the way.

They will also end the challenge with a half marathon run from Peterlee to Sunderland’s Roker Lighthouse on Sunday 13th September, the day the 2020 Great North Run should have been held.

Kavan said: “We were gutted to hear that the 2020 Great North Run would be called off and were concerned that the charity we were running for (The Clarke Lister Brain Haemorrhage Foundation) would miss out on vital funds generated through the run.

“So, we decided to take part in this challenge to help raise even a small amount that will help the charity continue to do their vital work over the coming months. It will also be a good motivation to help us shift some of the lockdown weight we have picked up over the last few month!”

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we have had to put in place some changes to our day to day business operations at Dealer Net Finance.

Alongside implementing a working from home initiative for our staff we have been unable to get out to visit customers for the signing of financial agreements.

As a business that prides itself on our professional customer service and works by a policy that “people deal with people” – this has been a huge change for our team.

But we have invested in time and training to make sure we can offer the latest technology available to help you continue to get the best all-round service from us at Dealer Net Finance.

We have invested in Adobe Sign technology to help you conveniently and securely sign your finance agreements with several of our funders.

If you are not confident on computers, the idea of E-Signing a document may seem a little strange at first, but it is completely secure.

E-Signature: An electronic signature, or e-signature, is a legal way to get consent or approval on electronic documents or forms. They are legal, tested, secure, auditable, and verifiable.

The process is straight forward on an E-Sign agreement, just follow these steps –
1. Receive e-mail link, click to open document
2. Click start here
3. Read the document and work through points to sign, which are automatically indicated
4. Once all areas filled in, press click to sign
All Done!

When it comes to the signing of the document, you have four options –
1. Type your name on
2. Sign with your mouse
3. Upload an image of a signature
4. Add in your phone number and you will be sent a link to sign on your phone

Check out the video below from Adobe with a complete walkthrough of signing an agreement with E-Sign from start to finish.

CBILS is a new scheme that can provide facilities for smaller businesses across the UK who are experiencing lost or deferred revenues leading to cash flow disruptions through this period.

The scheme provides the lender with a government-backed, partial guarantee against the outstanding balance of the finance.

CBILS is available on:

  • Asset Finance
  • Term loans
  • Overdrafts
  • Invoice Finance

All finance is subject to approval and certain criteria is needed to be met to qualify for CBILS.
