Lending criteria

Receivables only need to account for 25% of the overall ABL facility, creating greater flexibility to structure funding around a wider mix of assets. Multiple asset classes can be combined within a single facility, including receivables, inventory, property and plant & machinery. 

Funding is available from £1 million to £50 million, supporting a broad range of business requirements.

Funding can be structured against assets such as:

  • Overdue invoices and receivables, using unpaid customer invoices to support funding.
  • Stock and inventory, unlocking value from eligible stock held within your business.
  • Plant and machinery, using eligible equipment and machinery assets to support funding.
  • Commercial property, securing funding against eligible commercial property assets.

What can make business refinancing and restructuring finance challenging?

Business growth strategies and implementation plans often requires investment before the additional returns are realised. This can create cash flow issues and pressure, making it more difficult if you're looking to expand your business to fund expansion while continuing to meet every day operating costs.

As your business evolves, your funding requirements often change too. A facility that once worked well may no longer offer the flexibility or headroom you need to support:

  • Future growth investment opportunities and business growth plan
  • Operational changes or periods of transition
  • Changing funding requirements or a facility renewal

Existing business financing lenders may no longer be the right fit, a facility renewal might trigger a review of funding arrangements, or traditional lending may no longer provide sufficient flexibility.

When funding structures fail to keep pace with the business, it can restrict flexibility, limit future opportunities and make it harder to access the right funding for business at the moments it is needed most.

Periods of transformation can put pressure on your business as you balance long term objectives with day-to-day operations.

While delivering change, you still need to support:

  • Customers, suppliers and employees
  • Ongoing operations and business performance
  • Investment in future growth and transformation

Whether you're restructuring, making organisational changes or delivering a wider transformation programme, maintaining stability while moving forward can place additional pressure on funding, liquidity and operational flexibility.

For many businesses, the challenge is not the strategy itself, but ensuring sufficient funding flexibility is available throughout the transition.

Your business may already hold significant value in its existing assets, but accessing that value isn't always straightforward when additional funding is needed.

Capital can be tied up in:

  • Overdue invoices and unpaid bills
  • Stock and inventory
  • Plant and machinery
  • Commercial property

Traditional lending or single-asset solutions may not unlock sufficient funding, leaving businesses with less flexibility during periods of transition.

In many cases, the value required to support change already exists within the business but remains tied up in its assets.

As your business grows and evolves, you may build up different funding facilities to meet changing needs. While each may serve a purpose, managing multiple lenders and arrangements can create complexity and make it harder to see the bigger picture.

This can mean:

  • Managing multiple facilities, lenders and renewal dates
  • Increased administration and complexity
  • Less visibility over your overall funding position

Bringing facilities together into a more joined-up structure can help improve simplicity, flexibility and control.

Your business may have a clear strategy, a strong management team and a credible plan for the future, but delivering that change can require additional funding.

Whether you're restructuring operations, improving efficiency or building a stronger platform for future growth, access to liquidity can help you:

  • Fund operational improvements and business change
  • Restructure existing operations
  • Create greater headroom for future investment and growth

Without the right funding structure, delivering your plans can become more challenging and opportunities may be delayed.

For established businesses, transformation isn't always about survival. It's about creating stability, unlocking additional flexibility and having the confidence to move forward with certainty while delivering long-term change.
