Finstead

Scenario

Finance for new and growing businesses

Getting finance in the early days is a chicken and egg problem: lenders want history, and you need funding to build it. Most banks want two or more years of figures before they will talk, which leaves a lot of good young businesses stuck.

Sound familiar?

  • Less than two years of financials to show
  • Strong pipeline but not enough trading history for the bank
  • Need equipment or working capital to fulfil early contracts
  • Personal funds already stretched into the business

How Finstead helps

  • Finstead sources lenders who support newer businesses, including asset-backed options where the equipment itself is the security.
  • We structure the request around what you can evidence, whether that is contracts, bank statements or director experience.
  • We tell you what is achievable now and what to build towards for better terms later.
