Repeat funding relationship
In short

The partnership needed repeated VAT and HMRC funding to spread large tax liabilities and keep working capital inside the practice. Across six separate facilities, we arranged £2,200,389 in total. Six facilities completed, totalling £2,200,389. The partnership meets its tax obligations and spreads the cost, rather than taking a single large cash hit each time.

Professional firms are built on people, fees and client relationships rather than machinery or stock. That changes how a lender needs to look at them.

This accountancy partnership wanted additional funding, assessed on the quality of the firm itself.

  1. The requirement

    The partnership needed repeated VAT and HMRC funding to spread large tax liabilities and keep working capital inside the practice.

    Across six separate facilities, we arranged £2,200,389 in total.

  2. The challenge

    The value of a professional partnership sits in its people, clients and recurring fee income, not heavy physical assets. Lenders needed to understand the quality of that income.

    Paying each liability in one go would have drawn heavily on the cash the practice runs on.

  3. The structure

    We separated each tax liability from normal operating cash flow and presented the partnership on the strength of its fee income.

    Each time a new liability fell due, we went back to the market and arranged the next facility.

  4. The result

    Six facilities completed, totalling £2,200,389.

    The partnership meets its tax obligations and spreads the cost, rather than taking a single large cash hit each time.

What our clients say

I manage the VFO department at an accountancy practice and contacted Simon on behalf of a client whose unique situation made him appear unsuitable for finance. I had a chat with Simon and he got straight onto the case and found a fantastic finance deal which allows my client to take his business to the next level. Finance that appeared unattainable was sorted within a short period of time.

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.
Can a business borrow to pay a VAT or tax bill?
Often, yes. VAT, corporation tax and other HMRC liabilities can be spread with a dedicated tax funding facility, so the bill is paid on time without draining working capital. Subject to status. See HMRC and tax funding.
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.
