Business Financing

Business financing should start with your situation—not a generic product.

We help businesses understand the funding purpose, timing, existing facilities and relevant information before deciding where and how to approach banks, financiers or capital providers.

Where the question starts

What kind of business financing situation are you dealing with?

Business financing may be relevant to working capital, growth or an existing financing structure that no longer fits. The starting point is what the business needs, when funds are required and what financing is already in place.

  1. 01

    Working capital pressure

    Supplier obligations, payroll, inventory or operating commitments may arrive before customer receipts.

    Manufacturing and wholesale financing situations →
  2. 02

    Growth and expansion

    A new project, equipment purchase, expansion or additional facility may create a funding requirement.

  3. 03

    Existing facilities

    A facility that once fitted the business may become less suitable as circumstances, cash flow or obligations change.

  4. 04

    A previous rejection

    A declined application can be a reason to pause and understand the situation before another approach is made.

    What to consider after a bank rejection →
  5. 05

    A more complex case

    Multiple entities, collateral considerations or non-standard circumstances can require a broader financing discussion.

    Project and private capital situations →

Assessment

The useful question is not only how much is needed.

A financing discussion becomes more useful when the purpose, timing, current obligations and available information are considered together.

01 / Purpose

What is the money for?

Growth, operations, equipment, refinancing, project execution or another defined requirement.

02 / Timing

When does the pressure appear?

Understand the point at which cash is committed and when the underlying business activity is expected to generate receipts.

03 / Existing

What already exists?

Review current facilities, obligations and relevant documents before discussing a new route.

What to prepare

What information is useful before a financing discussion?

The exact information depends on the situation and the relevant financier. A useful starting point is enough context to understand the funding question.

  1. 01

    Business context

    What the business does, the reason for the financing and the timing of the requirement.

  2. 02

    Existing financing

    Current facilities and obligations that may affect the overall financing structure.

  3. 03

    Supporting documents

    Where relevant, contracts, invoices, purchase orders, financial information and other documents connected to the requirement.
