What our clients say

I’d like to say a big thank you to Simon and the team for successfully assisting with the sourcing and placing of our most recent funding. Simon was able to secure a lend when others appeared to have run out of appetite to place business or source viable options. I would highly recommend Simon should you need to raise capital or finance for your business needs.

FAQs

Questions about this case

Can a professional firm borrow without much physical security?
Often, yes. Lenders that understand professional firms look at fee income, client relationships and the strength of the practice rather than machinery or stock. See funding for professional practices.
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.
