In short
The business needed funding for working capital for food stock, staffing and delivery-platform cash-flow timing. Across two facilities, we arranged £47,000 in total. Two facilities completed, totalling £47,000. The business returned to us each time it needed further funding.
Two hospitality businesses with the same turnover can look very different to a lender. Seasonality, card receipts and margins all change the picture.
For this food and drink business, the job was finding a lender whose appetite matched the real trading, not a sector assumption.

The requirement
The business needed funding for working capital for food stock, staffing and delivery-platform cash-flow timing.
Across two facilities, we arranged £47,000 in total.
-
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.
-
The structure
We matched the funding to the business's trading pattern and card-sales profile, using a revenue-linked structure instead of relying solely on a conventional fixed-payment bank loan.
-
The result
Two facilities completed, totalling £47,000.
The business returned to us each time it needed further funding.

FAQs
Questions about this case
Can a hospitality business get funding with seasonal or card-based trading?
Often, yes. Many lenders fund pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels. Some size a facility on card takings, with repayments that rise and fall with sales; others offer fixed-term business loans. Which suits depends on how the business trades. See hospitality business loans.
Can I come back for more funding later?
Yes. Many of our clients return as their business changes, for a top-up, a renewal or a different kind of facility. Each new request is assessed on its own merits and is subject to status.
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.
