In short
The business needed funding for production costs, freelance talent and payroll before client invoices were paid. We arranged £50,000. The £50,000 facility completed.
Creative and digital businesses are service-led. Their value sits in people, clients and recurring work rather than equipment.
This content and media business wanted funding assessed on that basis.

FAQs
Questions about this case
Can a service-led creative or digital business borrow?
Yes. With few physical assets, lenders focus on trading performance, cash generation and recurring clients. Presenting those clearly is what matters.
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 a panel of 300+ lenders, 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?
It is free to enquire and 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.
