Case studies & solutions used

Beating the Deadline – How we secured a vital VAT loan

Managing VAT liabilities can put significant pressure on a business’s cash flow, especially for SMEs. For a family-run materials handling company, we’ve provided ongoing support with VAT loans over the past two years. In one instance, they needed a £62K VAT loan to supplement their own funding, which we arranged quickly to keep their operations on track. When they later faced a larger £132K VAT bill, additional complexities arose due to PAYE arrears and a high overdraft facility, leading to an initial loan rejection by the lender.

Acting swiftly, we worked closely with the lender on an appeal, providing detailed forecasts, supporting the client in addressing PAYE issues, and ensuring full transparency. Thanks to our established lender relationships and persistence, the loan was approved late on a Friday evening, allowing the client to meet their VAT obligation and avoid disruption. This case highlights how an experienced finance broker can deliver fast, flexible funding while navigating challenges to support business continuity and growth.

Mobile Dog Groomers Future-Proofs with an Electric Van

At the height of the pandemic, Alex Williams launched Streetdog Pet Groomers Limited, a mobile dog grooming service covering London, Essex, and Hertfordshire. With a unique business model focused on travelling to clients, Streetdogs offered convenience to pet owners and kept overheads low. However, rising fuel costs, ongoing van repairs, and London’s ULEZ charges made the original diesel van unsustainable for the growing business.

To keep the business viable and reduce operating costs, Alex turned to us to finance a switch to a fully electric Maxus Edeliver 9 van. The grooming equipment was easily transferred, and the move has since cut Streetdogs’ transport expenses by approximately 75%. With our support, Streetdog Pet Groomers is now well-positioned for long-term growth and sustainability.

Streamlining Factory Modernisation

We supported a company in upgrading its factory with four Randex Compact Lift automated storage systems. Acting as the finance intermediary, we leveraged its expertise to manage a smooth and efficient funding process, enabling the business to modernise operations with minimal disruption.

The flexible staged payment structure offered financial control throughout the project, while the successful installation highlighted both the effectiveness of the equipment and the value of tailored finance. The client praised our role in facilitating the transition, which has enhanced their operational efficiency and future readiness.
