Of all the things that SME business owners lose sleep over, the opportunity for finance options when they have a healthy, thriving business, shouldn’t be one. Human underwriting, niche funders and non-banks to the rescue!

As SMEs find funding with private lenders having previously faced capital refusals elsewhere, we are galvanised in our perspective that you can turn a no into a yes in a way that’s sensible for all parties.

One of the common issues that SMEs have when it comes to getting a loan from traditional banks is time - it takes too long and you need to think about it too far in advance. Most SMEs don't work on that kind of lead time, and that's where a lender who empathises with the realities of small and medium sized business planning, makes a practical difference to loans that support sensible cash flow and capital management.
