Sources of Finance

Business Angels

Finance of £10,000 to £250,000 can be surprisingly difficult to obtain.

Factoring and Invoice Discounting

Factoring allows you to raise finance based on the value of your outstanding invoices.

Financing Equipment

Hiring or leasing equipment is one way of making your working capital go further.

Overdrafts and Bank Loans

Overdrafts and loans are the most common form of external financing available to businesses.

Subsidised and Guaranteed Loans

If you have a promising business but cannot provide the security needed for a conventional bank loan, the Government’s Small Firms Loan Guarantee may be what you need.

Venture Capital

For businesses requiring additional finance, which are unable or unwilling to increase their level of borrowing, bank finance — in the form of secured loans and overdrafts — is not an option.
