Stock finance can help businesses with large sums of cash tied up in stock, especially seasonal trades. We can find the financiers who offer this specialist service by providing a much-needed cash injection until the stock is sold and the advance repaid.

You can raise further cash by financing or re-financing plant and machinery with payments being arranged to suit specific requirements. The money can be beneficial for increasing working capital or for an MBO, MBI or financial restructuring.

All clearing banks provide the SFLGS but not all are keen to do so. Other invoice finance companies offer the scheme and can arrange loans for service companies with a maximum annual turnover of £3m and up to £5m for manufacturing firms. Loans are available for periods of between two and ten years on sums from £5,000 to £250,000 (£100,000 if your business has been trading for less than two years).

If you are doing business with companies overseas, export finance can be provided through an export factoring or invoice discounting facility. By working with a UK factor who has links to factors in the same country as your customer, export can be as easy as UK trade to finance. We can help you put this specialist factoring facility in place.

If you have the potential to get large orders from your UK customers, but cannot finance purchasing the goods from overseas suppliers, Trade Finance can help. We can help to arrange the best facility for your particular circumstances.
