Manufacturing finance
While many companies have shifted operations abroad, manufacturing still accounts for a significant portion of the UK's output and employment. The growth of UK manufacturing production and new orders has hit a two-year high, with 63% of companies expecting output to expand over the coming year.
That said, SMEs like you in the manufacturing industry need a significant cash buffer to cope with this growth and sector-specific challenges, such as worldwide skill shortages, supply chain issues, and rising costs. You could unlock capital for your manufacturing business with one of our fast, flexible business loans tailored to your needs.
Read on to discover more about our manufacturing finance, what it can be used for and whether you’re eligible for a manufacturing loan.
What is manufacturing finance?
Manufacturing financing refers to commercial funding specifically designed for manufacturers and producers like you. There are many types of finance available to manufacturing businesses, such as working with angel investors or venture capitalists. However, if you aren't ready to give up a stake in your manufacturing company, a manufacturing business loan might be a better way of securing capital.
