Construction Financing

Construction is one of the UK’s most established industries, helping to form the backbone of our economy. The UK construction sector has faced numerous challenges in recent years. High demand coupled with the exodus of EU workers has led to a shortage of labourers, with rising costs and a lack of available materials also causing significant delays.

Along with industry-specific issues, access to working capital remains a critical challenge. However, the unwavering demand for construction projects, particularly within the housing sector, means that acquiring funding is vital to winning new opportunities. Fleximize can offer flexible funding on terms that suit you, so read on to find out more about our construction finance, how it works and how to apply.

Construction business financing

When it comes to supporting exciting new projects, hiring more staff, or purchasing new equipment, companies wanting to secure construction finance will often need to do so quickly in order to stay one step ahead of their competition.

While high-street banks can provide funding facilities, it may take weeks to secure a meeting, only to have your application for a business loan turned down.

Thankfully, a new wave of alternative lenders has entered the market in recent years, with many able to finance SMEs in as little as 24 hours. Better still, you don’t necessarily need a perfect credit history to be considered for funding. This makes digital business lenders like Fleximize an attractive option for businesses seeking a construction loan.
