IJYI
Let's Do Business Finance powers software business to grow during COVID-19. IJYI has continued to grow and thrive following support from Let’s Do Business Finance (LDBF) during the COVID-19 pandemic that brought business as we know it to a halt.
The Suffolk-based business delivers high-end bespoke software solutions, data analysis and support for their clients. The business has been named winner of prestigious awards including the Most Innovative Growth Company in Norfolk/Suffolk (Future 50 Awards), Tech East 100 as well as being an accredited Microsoft Gold Partner. With an impressive track-record, this high-growth business has a lot to offer.
IJYI was introduced to LDBF through Black Fox Finance Ltd. LDBF saw a high potential in the company and was able to deliver funding through the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS). The scheme has helped many businesses in these turbulent economic times, offering sums of up to £150k with fees and the first 12 months interest covered by the Government. After seeking support from LDBF, IJYI was able to receive a boost to their working capital and continue with growth plans.
“Thank you to LDBF Manager Dave Watson for all his enthusiasm and support over recent weeks. We are delighted to be working with LDBF and appreciate not only the support, but also the interest and tenacity they have invested in getting to understand our business. It’s nice to deal with a proper financier - a rare animal these days.”
Dave Watson, Business Manager at LDBF handled IJYI’s application and works with a variety of businesses to support them through COVID-19 and to expand operations.
“We worked with the team at IJYI to understand their medium-term strategic plans and the significant growth opportunities for the business coming out of COVID-19. We were pleased to provide funding to finance the next stage of growth and to further invest in its highly skilled workforce.”
IJYI are a team of creative thinkers with passion, collaboration, and success at the forefront of their ethos. The business was born in 2014 from industry experts Chris Pont and John Nicholson. As masters of their trade, the pair came together with the joint vision to improve software delivery processes and outcomes for organisations across the UK and beyond.
IJYI employs a highly skilled team of Developers, Quality Analysts, Project Managers, Architects, DevOps consultants, Business Analysts and Agile Coaches who are driven to help clients achieve success for a range of complex IT projects. IJYI believe everyone who works with or for IJYI should be a brand ambassador and state “applying this to software delivery means doing a great job for our customers.”
Services they offer include software development and support, designing and delivering data strategies and Microsoft Consultancy. IJYI has impressive clients across various private and public sectors, including councils, building societies and large corporates.
With a growing market desire for the use of digital and technology to increase productivity in businesses and harnessing big data, LDBF look forward to what the future holds for IJYI and are pleased to have been able to support them on their journey during the pandemic.
