The result
The vehicles could start generating revenue while the business kept cash for the wider expansion.
What our clients say
Simon was fast, kept us updated at all stages and was a real pleasure to work with on our asset finance. I highly recommend this company: excellent service all round.
We were looking for finance for new equipment. Simon is excellent and objective-driven, without the horrendous form filling of your usual high street bank. The whole thing took just a few days.
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.
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.
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.
