Spotted an opportunity to grow your business, but need funds to do so? Our funding can be in your account in as little as 24 hours.
Over the years, we've come to recognise that each business owner we work with has their own particular philosophy and approach to running a successful venture. That’s why we designed award-winning business finance that's flexible enough to cater to the needs of quick movers - those business owners who need access to finance quickly in order to help them take advantage of time-sensitive growth opportunities.
Funding designed for quick movers
We know how frustrating it can be when you spot an opportunity for growth but can't access the cash you need to act on it. That's why we've worked with quick-moving business owners such as retailers, wholesalers, food outlet owners and ecommerce owners over the years to help them:
1. Capitalise on a change in purchase trends/patterns
We understand that retailers who sell seasonal stock sometimes require funding to purchase in-demand goods, often at the last minute. Similarly, business owners may spot a change in buying patterns and want to diversify their current product range, but find themselves held back by a lack of funds. Our small business loans can be with borrowers within 24 hours of application so that they have the breathing space to shift according to last-minute or unexpected fluctuations in sales.
For example, at the start of the pandemic several SMEs needed a quick boost of cash flow to source, stock, and sell PPE to healthcare providers and the general public. The flexibility offered by our quick business loans paired with our lightning-fast processes allowed many businesses to pivot during unprecedented times in order to serve their local community.
2. Pay unexpected bills
Often, small business owners simply do not have the working capital to pay an urgent or unexpected VAT or tax bill. We find that many small businesses spend the money set aside for these bills due to cash flow problems and so turn to alternative finance providers for financing options that can cover the bill payment.
Our Flexiloan Lite in particular has been designed for situations such as covering the cost of an urgent corporation tax bill or VAT payment; it can be with the business owner in just 24 hours and borrowers are able to spread repayments over a 12-month term. This means that a tax bill that may otherwise overwhelm a business' cash flow can actually be paid in 12 manageable chunks; instead of being wiped out by an unexpected and urgent bill, small businesses can still maintain some level of breathing space and maintain healthy cash flow.
3. Purchase discounted stock
Over the years, we've partnered with many small business owners who need to act quickly to purchase stock in mass from a supplier holding a sale or from a wholesaler offering flash discounts on large orders. However, having the working capital in place to seizs such opportunities is tricky. Business owners have come to us in the past explaining that they could get significant discounts when buying larger quantities than they normally would, or that a competitor is shutting up shop and offering heavily discounted goods, but that they simply don't have the capacity in their cash reserves to take on such opportunities.
In fact, our recent customer Alan Barrie, owner of Newbury-based Montagne Sports, recently found that one of his suppliers was looking to shift some stock and was offering a large quantity for a significantly discounted rate. Spotting the opportunity to offer his customers something new, and improve his profit margins, Alan turned to Fleximize and received funding support of £20,000 within just a few hours. With the capital at his disposal, Alan was able to secure the stock at an even more discounted rate. You can listen to his story, and how we were able to help, in his own words below.
