A business purchase can look affordable on paper and still leave the buyer short of working capital after completion. Acquisition funding support…
Wages, suppliers and stock need paying even when customer receipts are weeks away. Working capital finance can bridge a temporary gap, support a seasonal peak or help deliver new orders. The right structure starts with your cash cycle and a credible repayment plan.
Send the amount required, what it will cover, when you need it and how the business will repay it.
An enquiry does not commit you to proceed. Finance is subject to status, affordability, provider criteria and approval. Fees, security and personal guarantees may apply.
A fixed loan, revolving facility and invoice-backed arrangement solve different problems. Borrowing more than you need can add cost. Borrowing too little can leave the next payment gap unresolved. We look at the amount, duration and timing of the shortfall first.
Compare total repayment, all fees, repayment frequency, unused-facility charges, security and guarantees. Model a weaker trading month before accepting an offer. Finance is a poor answer to continuing losses without a credible recovery plan.
