This drinks and events business wanted additional funding from a lender that could see past the calendar.
01
The requirement
The business needed funding for working capital for beverage stock, events, marketing and supplier costs.
We arranged £14,000.
02
The challenge
Cash had to be committed before the stock could generate sales, so the business needed additional purchasing power without using up the liquidity required for normal operations.
03
The structure
We compared appropriate commercial-lending routes and placed the requirement with a lender whose appetite fitted the sector, amount and cash-flow profile.
04
The result
The £14,000 facility completed.

Quick enquiry
Need funding for your business?
Not ready for the full application? Leave a few details and a broker will call you to talk it through. It is free, with no obligation.
Can a seasonal leisure or events business get funding?
Yes, from lenders that look at trading across the full year. Facilities can be sized around the busy and quiet periods.
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.
