FAQ's
Do you only fund asset-backed cases?
Security helps reduce cost and increase flexibility, but we assess each case on overall fundamentals and projections.
How fast can we move from enquiry to terms?
Quickly. We prioritise clear information and can turn indicative terms around at pace to meet real-world timelines.
What sectors do you support?
We’re sector-agnostic and back trading businesses across the UK. Share your case and we’ll advise quickly.
Will historic credit events rule me out?
Not necessarily. We focus on future cash flow and credible plans, with sensible structures to mitigate risk.
