Happy New Year! Now that we’re in to 2021 your business may be planning to survive or even thrive. Key drivers for finance are the pandemic & lockdowns, Brexit readiness, pivoting & general business growth financing requirements. If your business needs financing we’re here to help organise business loan quotes. Depending on what industry you operate in there are government-backed supports & loans to suit most. If not, we have a host of alternative business finance options that can work. BusinessLoans.ie recommends:

Check the Department of Enterprise website for the latest business supports. You may need to revisit their continuity planning checklist to see if you can cover your bases as best you can.
If you need working capital we can get you a quick quote. It costs nothing to get the quote built and you may not even need to draw it down. We have other options that give you a line of credit for trading or releasing value early on invoices when you want to. There is a little bit of work to get you approved for some of these facilities but it can give you peace of mind once you know you can call on it when needed.
If your business would like our new treasury function, please ask. We have a virtual CFO partner who can assist activities such as finance planning, cash flow forecasts and if they identify times when you need more working capital they can queue up reminders to get your finance quotes organised in good time with BusinessLoans.ie.
If you are reviewing your book of debtors and are concerned about not getting paid we’re partnered with a collections company going since 1929, Atradius.

We really are here to help at this time. We never ask you for a fee and get your loan quotes organised quickly. Your accountant or the Local Enterprise Office will be on hand to give you advice too and we always recommend checking in for financial advice on the big decisions. Other than that we have many professionals in our network who we put you in touch with, if it’s not something we are best placed to assist with. Call us 7 days on 01 55 636 55.

If you're a business owner your usual port of call when you need finance is to look to your bank. Yet, even as we hear positive signals in the media about the Irish economy, the stock of SME credit available in Q1 2017 was down 8.2% compared with Q1 2016. Small and micro-sized companies are worst hit by the increased bank rejection. Even if the bank does approve you for finance, the process can be very time-consuming and stressful. You may endure requests for reams of documents and get eventual approval but subject to additional security such as signing over your family home.

So what can you do about it? The great news is that there are alternative finance options such as private financiers and P2P lending. Many of these options bypass the behemoth bank bureaucracy and replace it with a common-sense approach. You can expect a quick decision based on supplying a couple of easy-to-get documents. Generally you can go the unsecured route and not have to worry about paying penalties if you want to pay your business loan back early. Businessloans.ie is partnered with the best alternative finance options in Ireland today. If you have a business project in mind we will be happy to listen, answer any questions you have and connect you with the best finance deal to grow your business.
