Revolving Capital Facility

Flexible funding that gives you fast, easy access to working capital when you need it. Our Revolving Capital Facility works just like a revolving loan, but better. No monthly account or admin fees. Only pay for what you use, if you use it.

Capital Advance

Fixed funding that gives you a crystal clear repayment period. Our Capital Advance is a once-off lump sum that gets repaid over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Fixed terms. Fixed fees. No early repayment penalties.

Do you qualify?

We’re here to empower every SME (that’s you) to succeed, so we keep our minimum qualifications less intensive than the banks.
