BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. It was for a solar business involved in sales and installations in the residential market. Recently they were busier because the energy crisis led to increased demand for green energy solutions. As a result of this, they needed financing to get the best deal on bulk buying stock as well as increased payroll obligations to meet with their new installations team member.
The BusinessLoans.ie team got their quote turned around in 24 hours with a merchant cash advance. The finance facility was based on the significant turnover they had via their online and card machine sales. They now have a flexible repayment that fits with their cash flow cycle and are happy.

The new year brings us new opportunities… and challenges. Towards the end of 2022 business owners were telling us of their finance requirements. A key concern for many was having enough working capital. Inflation eroded margins and the energy crisis exacerbated this. Many businesses had to write down bad debts from previous years. Banks were tightening up lending rules while raising interest rates and some applicants were waiting months for decisions.
It’s not all bad news. While some banks left the market, other non-bank lenders are filling the void. These alternative business lenders are often specialist, whether that’s unsecured lending, asset financing, invoice financing or merchant cash advance financing. Business owners we help are often delighted by the quick turnaround times, smoothness of online applications & open banking instead of frustration of emails & attachments, as well as knowledgeable credit teams who understand business owner’s industries.
If your business has plans to expand in 2023 that require financing, or just needs a simple working capital loan to ease cash flow concerns, we’ve got business loan quote options that can help. Email the BusinessLoans.ie team today on hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55. We’re here to help, 7 days.
In these inflationary times, business owners in Ireland are battling rising input & labour costs. There’s limited scope to raise prices, so other reactive measures can be considered such as incentivising clients to pay upfront, amending receivables policies, negotiating supplier terms or proactively organising finance before the bank statements get too tight.
BusinessLoans.ie has a number of working capital finance quote options. The most popular solution is a simple unsecured loan with low repayments over a number of years. Our lending partners generally require less paperwork than the banks and don’t charge an early repayment penalty; so if the cash flow pressure eases during the loan term, it can be fixed up early to save on interest. Other options that can work are invoice finance & trade finance, merchant cash advance or various other types of secured lending.

BusinessLoans.ie helped a building & retrofit contractor get a €50,000 working capital loan. They required funding due to soaring materials costs and reduced supplier terms. They had engaged their own bank who had suggested paying the balance of an existing loan first before they could assess the new application however, their CFO didn’t feel confident that approval on a new loan would follow, potentially leaving them in worse off position.
BusinessLoans.ie engaged a non-bank lending partner. They were approved and funded in days, with low paperwork requirements. The business owner was happy to have a more comfortable cash flow position and better cash purchasing power for materials.

In recent years banks have upped their game & improved their approvals processes. Generally they will say on advertisements, your business loan can be approved in 24 hours; but they mark it with an asterix, directing you to read the fine print. So a lot of the time you can get indicative rates quickly but to get it to approval & draw down stages you have to submit their full list of documents. With banks that can include items you won’t typically have lying around. This can range from business plans to detailed financial modelling and short, medium and long-term cash flow forecasts. All this takes time and money.
Accountants are currently battling backlogs and are time-poor. They need to prioritise pandemic & Revenue issues over client’s requests from banks. So what can a business owner do if they want a fast finance quote without the fuss? The short answer is to look at options from Ireland’s booming FinTech sector. Many of their advertisements offering decisions in 24 hours are more credible. The reason for this is an online focused application process and using the latest underwriting techniques and data points.
Pre-pandemic, the trade-off for using alternative finance was paying a slightly higher rate. FinTechs simply don’t have access to money as cheaply as the banks. Even then, the difference to the monthly repayment on a typical microbusiness short-term loan could be €30 a month. However, the time and money saved on attending to bank loans makes it worth it.
What’s even better is that many Fintechs have access to government-backed SBCI funds. This now makes them competitive on rates with the banks. Some of these options such as the Covid-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme are due to end on the 31st of December so the time to act is now if you want working capital or assets with the peace of mind of no personal guarantees!

BusinessLoans.ie helped a sustainable building & retrofit contractor who won a lucrative Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) contract. When we first spoke they had already tried their bank for a standard bank loan so they could have enough working capital for expenses while they waited to get paid. They said the SEAI can take a couple of months to pay and the impact on cash flow would be too severe on them.
It seemed that invoice finance could be a great solution but it wasn’t straightforward with the SEAI. Work had to be signed off and sometimes alterations were required. Traditional bank invoice finance couldn’t deal with this complication. BusinessLoans.ie used an alternative lender who found a workaround for this. On the rare occasion an alteration was required some information from the SEAI system would suffice. Our client was offered favourable terms and a €2 million limit facility that was more than enough to satisfy their need.
There are a number of invoice finance options on the market. There are one-off or ad hoc solutions enabling you to release working capital from invoices whenever you choose. Generally there is a portal where you upload the invoice. You get a quick decision if they accept it and get funds fast. Then there are ongoing solutions that give you peace of mind knowing you have a limit and a financier who will support you through thick and thin. BusinessLoans.ie can get you fast invoice finance quotes. Email us at hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.
BusinessLoans.ie helped a long-established eCommerce business who required working capital to get past a rough patch. It left their accounts showing a loss and they were finding it difficult to get support from their bank. When we reviewed the information an angle was identified because they had healthy turnover on their merchant account and they were coming in to a busier time of year. A specialist merchant cash advance lender was able to quickly give indicative figures for their desired amount and within days the funds were in their account. The client was happy and they have comfort that the lender indicated they would be willing to support them again as cash flow improves in the coming months.
