Access to finance & funding.
One of the biggest reasons businesses stay stuck is not knowing where the money is. I connect ambitious businesses with the right financial sources, from business loans and investment to grants and growth funding, and help you approach them the right way, with the right story.
Who this is for
Businesses that could grow if they had the capital, and owners who have either never asked for it or asked once, badly, and been put off. Also businesses whose real problem is not a lack of funding but a lack of cash flow, which looks the same from the inside and needs a different answer.
What we do
- Work out what you actually need. Funding, or terms? Growth capital, or a cash-flow gap that better payment terms would close on their own? We answer that first, because the wrong money is expensive.
- Find the right sources. Start Up Loans, the British Business Bank schemes, invoice finance, growth funding, grants through local Growth Hubs, private investment. Each suits a different business at a different stage.
- Get the numbers ready. Lenders and investors read a business through its figures. We make sure yours tell the story you want told, with your accountant's numbers behind them.
- Approach them the right way. What to say, what to have ready, and what a serious funder will ask in the first ten minutes.
What you leave with
A clear answer to whether you need funding at all, and if so which kind and from where. Then an application, a pitch or a conversation you are ready to have, with the numbers to back it.
