Sometimes getting credit for a new business can be difficult. Funders see you as a high risk, and either steer clear or charge you extremely high rates.
I've just signed up an agreement with a new funder who looks at new businesses in a slightly different way. Rather than just seeing the short term risk, this funder takes a more holistic approach and looks at long term gain - a start-up business looking for a few thousand pounds now may well be looking for considerably more as the business grows.
Another area of business that often gets overlooked by main stream funders is helping businesses that have experienced a difficult trading period, and so may not have a totally clean credit record. Again, this funder will look at all of the facts and listen to the reasons for the difficulty before making a decision.
In both of these cases, new business and those with a difficult credit history, the risk to the lender is higher, so the interest rate on funds will be slightly higher to reflect this. Please don't think that "slightly higher" means a ridiculous rate of return - it really does mean "slightly higher"!
If you're new in business, or have had a difficult time, please feel free to call me for a competitive finance quote.
Have fun

can you send any info?
I have just received a "loan pack" from a local company-lets just say i am NOT filling in all of that!! i think they want to know what i was wearing in the 80's!!!
It is supposed to help out when you have no other source available, but cant see many wanting to do so much paperwork with so much information required- the follow up phone call was rather funny too! lets just say i am looking else where!
There are lots of loans and grants here but each has qualifying criteria and procedures - but there's potentially some good money there for those willing to put the time and effort in.
Low rate business loans and grants are fantastic for new businesses if they are eligable - you should always explore every avenue to make sure that the money you are borrowing is as "cheap" as possible.
Well, if you're happy to give out a few hundred k I could be interested.
Of course, it would be helpful to provide more information - for example, interest rates and fees. Higher risk perception usually carries higher financial costs in loans because of it.
