  • identify your precise requirements and goals;

  • assist you in your decision-making process;
  • carry out research and assimilate all the necessary documentation so that you are able to secure finance quickly;

  • provide further assistance having obtained finance.

In terms of raising finance, there are several options and some of these are detailed below.

Asset-based lending

This can be used to raise money for purchasing stock and equipment or growth plans, and it’s the preferred route when traditional unsecured loans from banks are not possible. Asset-based lending allows you to release cash tied up in assets such as debtors, equipment, stock and property.

Bank finance

Banks are the traditional source of finance and provide businesses with short-term solutions (e.g. overdrafts, bridging loans) and long-term solutions (e.g. mortgages).

Factoring

Factoring allows businesses to raise funds based on money owed by its debtors and thus free up working capital tied up in the business. There are plenty of suppliers of this service and some can even manage the whole invoicing and credit control function for you.

Leasing

Leasing, also known as asset financing, allows the business (i.e. lessor) to lease its asset (e.g. property, machinery) for the bulk of its life to another company (i.e. lessee) for a regular fee. At the end of the lease period, the asset returns to the lessor. Leaseback is another alternative and enables the business to use funds raised to invest in more profitable areas of the business or expansion plans.

If you need guidance with any of the options detailed above, please contact our office.
