In short
The business needed funding for working capital for fuel, subcontractors, vehicle running costs and the timing gap between jobs and customer receipts. Across three facilities, we arranged £45,000 in total. Three facilities completed, totalling £45,000. The business returned to us each time it needed further funding.
Transport businesses carry constant running costs: vehicles, fuel, people and contracts that often pay in arrears.
This logistics business wanted additional finance from a lender that understood those demands.

The requirement
The business needed funding for working capital for fuel, subcontractors, vehicle running costs and the timing gap between jobs and customer receipts.
Across three facilities, we arranged £45,000 in total.
-
The challenge
The requirement changed as the business traded and the earlier facilities amortised, so each new facility had to be sized around current performance rather than simply repeating the original deal.
-
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
Three facilities completed, totalling £45,000.
The business returned to us each time it needed further funding.

FAQs
Questions about this case
What do lenders look at for a transport or logistics business?
Contracts, customer payment terms, vehicle and fuel costs and the strength of trading. Some requirements suit asset or vehicle finance; others suit working capital. See transport and logistics finance.
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.
