The business needed corporation tax funding to spread a statutory liability and protect working capital for its projects. The £16,457 facility completed and project cash stayed where it was needed.
Construction businesses pay for labour and materials long before a project pays them.
This construction project services business wanted funding from a lender that understood that cycle.
01
The requirement
The business needed corporation tax funding to spread a statutory liability and protect working capital for its projects.
02
The challenge
Construction businesses commit cash to materials and labour before a project pays. A tax bill paid in one go would have come straight out of that.
03
The structure
We separated the tax liability from project cash flow and arranged corporation tax funding to spread it.
04
The result
The £16,457 facility completed and project cash stayed where it was needed.
What our clients say
I contacted them to apply for a VAT funding loan. Simon responded within half an hour of my request and was able to confirm funding within a 24 hour period. It was the first time I have had to apply for funding owing to a short-term cash flow problem, and he made the journey so easy. Kind and highly efficient: I would highly recommend them for a fast, professional service.
Ready when you are
Need funding for your business?
Tell us how much you need and what it is for. Instant Quotes shows which lenders on our panel fit your business, then a broker helps you choose the right option.
They look at the order book, how projects are paid and the cash committed to labour and materials before payment arrives. Options include working capital, invoice finance and tax funding. See construction finance.
Can a business borrow to pay a VAT or tax bill?
Often, yes. VAT, corporation tax and other HMRC liabilities can be spread with a dedicated tax funding facility, so the bill is paid on time without draining working capital. Subject to status. See HMRC and tax funding.
Is this a real transaction?
Yes. Every case study on this site is a transaction we arranged and saw through to completion. Client details are anonymised, and we only publish what we can verify: we never invent figures, rates or outcomes.
Do you lend the money yourselves?
No. Smart Funding Solutions is a credit broker, not a lender. We search lenders across the whole market, present your case to the ones whose criteria fit, and manage the application through to completion. The lender makes the final decision and all finance is subject to status.
What does it cost to talk to you?
There is no obligation. Any broker fee is disclosed separately before you proceed, and there is no obligation to accept an offer.
Your business
Could this structure work for your business?
Every case is assessed on its own merits. These pages explain the finance used here and what lenders look at.
Client details are anonymised. Every case is different and past results don't guarantee future outcomes: lenders set their own criteria and all finance is subject to status.
