Full speed ahead... When you’re looking to kick-start a new business, traditional finance routes can quickly become financial cul-de-sacs: VCs may demand control with onerous reporting and the banks want to see security and big Personal Guarantees.

Venture could help you to raise the money you need quickly and painlessly. The Government’s Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme is perfect for start-up businesses with a strong business plan, and can deliver anything from £5,000 to £250,000 – with 75% secured by the BERR (formerly the DTI).

Venture combines this with Factoring or Invoice Discounting, which alone provide up to 95% immediate funding against the invoices you raise. Factoring will also take away the headache of having to carry out credit control when you really need to focus on building your business.

By taking into account all your assets, we can typically raise more funding, faster. What’s more, our invoice finance will grow as your business grows with no need to renegotiate terms. Combined with Bad Debt Protection it will also allow you to get on with developing your business, confident that your cashflow won’t hold you up.

If you’ve got an exciting business plan and want to understand how flexible finance could play its part in getting you off the starting block, give our experienced team a call – they’d be happy to talk through the options: 0800 077 8547.
