Alexander Hone

Business Development Manager

Why you are with OSBF, what do you love?

It’s always nice to see a business in the financial services sector which genuinely cares about the client journey and helping them to get to where they need to be.

As a BDM working in the innovation funding space previously, I would now only ever work for a company that shares that ethos of ‘finance for good’, and I believe One Stop Business Finance provides exactly that.

Relevant industry experience and career background?

I began my career within financial advisories, which led me to live in London, Geneva and Dubai over three years. Here I climbed the ranks to become the Global Head of Business Development for the group.

Once returning to England I set up and led my own limited business which was an external sales team/ lead generator for financial institutions. For the next five years, I worked solely in non-dilutive funding for businesses in the UK, helping to incentivise their R&D and innovation with government funding. This all ultimately led me into specialist lending and to begin working for One Stop Business Finance.

What are you looking forward to?

I am looking forward to meeting and hearing the stories of ambitious business owners who just need a boost to help reach their goals and being a part of the solution for them.

Who you’d like to work with?

Even though my previous experience would angle towards working with businesses focused on acquisition funding, there’s no specific sector I would prefer. I would just like to work with individuals who have a goal and are striving to achieve it.
