Bank said no to your business loan? Here’s what next

Care providers and healthcare businesses face recurring payroll, compliance, equipment and premises costs, while payments from private clients, local authorities or other organisations may arrive later.
Commercial finance can help manage these timing gaps, fund essential assets or support an acquisition, refurbishment or new service.
TMS Finance reviews the provider's trading history, payment sources, occupancy or utilisation, staffing model, regulatory position and intended use of funds before approaching suitable lenders.
Funding may be available for staffing, equipment, vehicles, premises, acquisitions, refurbishments and working capital.

Trusted by UK Businesses.
We review trading performance, payment sources, occupancy or utilisation, staffing costs, regulatory position and the proposed use of funds. Potential routes may include business loans, invoice finance, asset finance, property finance or equity finance. Lenders make their own clinical-sector, credit and affordability assessments.
Here are some of the main questions that businesses in this sector ask.
Potential applicants include established care homes, domiciliary care providers, clinics, pharmacies, dental practices and other eligible healthcare businesses. Lender appetite and regulatory requirements vary by sector.
Working-capital facilities may help bridge timing gaps where payments are delayed, provided the business can demonstrate a sustainable route to repayment. Funding should not replace an underlying need to correct persistent losses.
Asset finance may be suitable for qualifying clinical, mobility, care, technology and specialist transport equipment. The asset, supplier, useful life and regulatory suitability will be considered.
Acquisition funding may be available where the buyer, target, regulatory position, valuation and cash contribution meet lender criteria. Detailed due diligence and professional advice are normally required.
Lenders may review registration, inspection outcomes, action plans and management experience. Material regulatory concerns can limit options, so accurate and current information is essential.
Invoice finance may be possible for eligible business or public-sector receivables. The contract, payer, invoice terms, concentration and whether the service has been accepted will influence availability.
Common requirements include accounts, bank statements, management information, occupancy or utilisation data, payment-source details, regulatory information, existing debt and a clear breakdown of the funding requirement.
Tell us about the service, funding purpose, trading performance, payment cycle and timescale. We will review the requirement and explain the routes that may be available.
