FIVE reasons for Birmingham businesses to use specialist finance
Specialist lender, Together, provides fast and effective short-term funding to professional services firms and their clients. With more flexibility to consider cases
on their individual merits, alternative finance providers like Together have experienced increased demand in recent times, helping small businesses that may not fit within the more rigid criteria set out by mainstream lenders, to access the funding they need. Together’s regional development director for Birmingham, Mark Finucane (pictured), said: “As a specialist lender, we have greater flexibility than those in the mainstream market, and are able to act faster. “2016 was a very positive year for the alternative finance sector and
indicates that whilst the landscape of the finance market may have changed, there are many options available for businesses to find the finance that’s right for them – it’s just about knowing where to look. “We have a broad network of professional introducers including
accountants, solicitors, banks and financial advisers, who will refer clients to us knowing that they can be assured of excellent service and a speedy decision.” In order to help SMEs across the region to identify when specialist
finance could be for them, Mark outlines the five most common situations in which a company can benefit from using a specialist lender.
To purchase property When property is in high demand, being able to complete quickly can make you the most attractive buyer. Recently, we helped a client purchase a commercial property in just seven days, after their high street lender was unable to provide the funds in time.
To seize an investment opportunity Similarly, if you want to seize an investment opportunity, such as acquiring another business, our flexible approach means that we are able to work with businesses of all sizes and across all sectors to deliver funding.
To refinance existing debts It’s particularly useful for SMEs to consolidate debts, making them easier to manage. When refinancing, you can also prioritise your creditors, ensuring you maintain positive relationships with them.
To clear a tax bill A tax bill can come as a nasty surprise to a small business. Fast and flexible funding can ensure quick payment, whilst spreading the cost over a longer period of time, so it’s more manageable.
To release equity If you need to generate cash flow and have a residential property, we can lend against it. Whether it’s for business or personal purposes, we offer flexible terms and can provide a speedy decision.
