BANKING REVIEW & FUNDING SOLUTIONS

The banking world has and is continuing to change dramatically with increased regulations imposed on the financial institutions which is affecting their appetite to lend to certain sectors and unwillingness to maintain non-compliant accounts. This is having a major impact on our business community.  

 

Traditionally, business owners turned to their bank when seeking to raise finance. However, today there are many other potential funding solutions to consider. From sales credit insurance, leasing, asset-backed finance, debt factoring and invoice discounting to effective tax and VAT planning. 

 

Our business advisory team will help you identify the best solutions for your individual circumstances and, if appropriate, will negotiate with lenders on your behalf. Our services include: 

 

  • Reviewing current funding structure and covenants 
  • Assessing the appropriateness of your existing loans and assessing future funding requirements 
  • Identifying funding options 
  • Preparing financial information and forecasts to support funding applications 
  • Guidance and support during the application process.

We’ll explore and explain your options, which could include refinancing, selling the business through accelerated mergers and acquisitions, a restructuring plan or administration.

INSOLVENCY & LITIGATION

If you realise your business is insolvent, or if you are experiencing personal debt and money worries, it can make it hard to see any way forward. We are here to support you and show you the options. It may still be possible to set up a rescue plan, and our team will assess your liabilities and assets, explain your position and advise you on the correct course of action.
