Binsleepin,
Firstly, Congratulations. It is your decision only, what we think is irrelevant.
I am however keen to hear the exact deal on offer ie £25k or £16k etc Money totally upfront or loaned to you etc.
You may not wish to divulge, which is fine, but when I said no to paying £25k up front and still got an assessment day, I am interested to hear if there are other options on the table.
Thanks.
