Finding the right source of finance
If you’re seeking funding for growth, choosing the right type of finance from a source you can trust to work with you over the long-term, is essential.
Funding comes in all shapes and sizes. Which option is best for your business will depend on many things: the reason for seeking finance, your trade and working capital cycle, your risk profile, your asset base and the term and amount you require.
What to consider
- Matching your funding to your needs may seem obvious, but a review can show you may be paying for funds you don’t use.
- Leveraging your assets can help you make the most of what you have and could help you access additional funds.
- Using your working capital more efficiently can help boost your growth options.
Types of finance
We can provide you with a range of solutions that meet your needs.
Term loans, overdrafts and revolving credit – for a straightforward solution with certainty and flexibility built in, a term loan allows you to access capital for growth. A revolving credit facility offers an overall limit within which your business can access funds as and when required. And, for short-term finance, an overdraft helps you keep pace with fluctuating financial demands.
