In short
The restaurant wanted additional funding. We arranged £75,000. The £75,000 facility completed.
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 restaurant, the job was finding a lender whose appetite matched the real trading, not a sector assumption.

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.
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.
