The problem
Why this capability exists.
Static overdrafts charge for headroom you don't use, and refuse drawdown when you do.
Our approach
- 01
Map your 13-week cashflow against funder appetite.
- 02
Match to revolving facilities priced on utilisation, not commitment.
- 03
Layer dynamic-discounting where supplier base is concentrated.
Outcomes you can expect
- Median utilisation cost reduced 24%
- 31 active working-capital lenders
- Dynamic-discounting integrated to 14 ERPs

FAQs
Frequently asked
The questions clients always ask.
Most lenders will request a director PG, often capped to a portion of the facility. Some asset-backed structures can be PG-light.
Working capital lines: 3–7 days. Term loans: 2–4 weeks. Acquisition / structured deals: 6–10 weeks subject to legals.
Pure pre-revenue is rare; we have growth-debt partners that lend against ARR / contracted revenue from £100K MRR.
Brokerage is paid by the lender on drawdown for most facilities. For acquisition / structured-debt mandates, we agree a fee in advance.
