Frequently Asked Questions:
A: Turnover from startups projecting £250k in first year to £15 million where funds required up to £5m
A: The business must be a Limited entity or LLP– we will not deal with sole traders and partnerships.
A: We will always look to secure a Personal Guarantee from the major shareholder/director of the business – whether this is limited, will be subject to the facility and considered risk of the debt. We will always look to the strength of that Personal Guarantee, in terms of whether they are homeowners or not. This gives us more traceability to the individuals and value to the Guarantee.

If the debtors appear not creditworthy, this may well be where the lead comes to a halt, and we cannot proceed any further – We will of course come back to you to see if they have any supporting information.
A: If the debtors appear supportive to the limits required, the next stage is to speak to the prospect regarding the invoicing procedure and paper trail to support the debt.
A: We will look to fund Turnaround situations, Manage-aways and instances where the current funding relationship has broken down. Again, all subject to the above debtor consideration being in place.
