Cashflow Finance for SMEs
Capitalise on your positive cash flow
The dynamics of British industry have changed. Many businesses, such as those in the service and knowledge sector, don’t have access to physical assets such as bricks and mortar assets which are traditionally used as security for conventional bank lending.
So, we can take a different approach to business borrowing. We look at the bigger picture.
We consider your cash flows to help us understand your true business potential. We can assess the strength of your business cash flow statements, both current and projected, rather than just the tangible assets on your balance sheet.
What is Cashflow Finance?
With Cashflow Finance you borrow against the cash you’ve consistently generated and your projected future cash flows (based on current and pipeline contracts), rather than against the value of your physical assets.
By borrowing against your future cash flows, you can achieve business growth without reducing the cash resources in your business or diluting your equity.
Who is it for?
Every business needs some level of finance to grow. Many SMEs face a barrier to accessing finance, either from lacking or having exhausted their traditional physical assets used to borrow against. Cashflow Finance could be considered as one of the sources of finance for a business.
How it works
We look at the cash your business has consistently generated over recent years and your expected future cash flows (based on current and pipeline contracts).
If we feel your sustainable cash flows provide capacity for growth, then we’ll help you make the most of it with our Cashflow Finance.
Our flexible finance packages are structured to suit you and are based on an understanding of the bigger picture of your business needs. It can include term debt and/or committed working capital facilities.
