Recent deal: A roller blade business gets a €50,000 working capital loan

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. Our client needed working capital. During the pandemic their main supplier was busy with HSE contracts and changed their payment terms. They had also found some new lucrative contracts but needed to supply favourable credit terms to their client. All-in-all this resulted in a strain on cash flow. They had made more plans to expand the business. A €50,000 requirement was identified. When they spoke with us they had tried their bank but the documents requests were too much to attend to and the business owner was time-poor.

With BusinessLoans.ie our client provided a quote at a low rate quickly and they had the funds in their account in days. Does your business need a fast finance quote? Email us at hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.

Recent deal: Construction company gets capital for machines & projects

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another happy client. An Irish construction firm secured over €110,000 to assist with machinery & working capital for a new housing project. Their business performed well in 2021 but a payment they were expecting was delayed. This impacted their cash flow and planning for their next big job. The owner had identified a used machine at a bargain price. While it was in great condition, it was too old for many asset finance lenders to quote. Our unsecured lender was unconcerned with the age of the asset. The business’s accounts & bank statement performance were strong enough to make the lending decision without taking a charge on the machine. The business owner was able to draw down their funds in days and got a machine that will be of great benefit to their ground works for their new project. On top of this they have some additional working capital left over to assist until the first stage payment comes in, easing cash flow pressure.

Six tips for getting business loans from banks in 2022

Speaking with your bank about business loans can be tough as we continue with pandemic issues in 2022. It’s best to get all your ducks in a row beforehand. In the words Abraham Lincoln; “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Here are some quick tips that may help:

1. Get expert advice. Your accountant or an experienced financial adviser will be useful here. If budget is a concern there are supports from your Local Enterprise Office, Enterprise Ireland & more.

2. Assess where your business is currently. Weigh up the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Many businesses are pivoting completely or you may just need to focus on a particular area that’s working right now.

3. Be frank with your bank. When you speak with a bank in black & white terms, more focused on the facts & figures you should find them most receptive.

4 . Fail to plan; plan to fail. Write it down in a budget with a clear, concise plan of action detailing realistic forecasts & projections. If there are many variables in your forecasting consider presenting a best-case & worst-case scenario.

5. Hard talk. Be ready for your conversation with the bank & for difficult questions. Have your answers prepared.

6. Consider alternative options. If you have tried your best with the bank but they’re not on board there are alternative business finance options that may work.

The BusinessLoans.ie view is to engage with your accountant, advisers or government agencies & prepare. If the bank declines you don’t give up. Ireland has many alternative business finance options. We can assist with fast finance quotes & we’re here for you 7 days. Email hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.

Recent deal: A kitchen renovation company & a covid loan

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. It was for a kitchen renovation company that specialises in respray and restoration of kitchens, baths, worktops and more. During the pandemic restrictions they took a considerable hit to their business. Now they were busy. Like many in construction related industries they were enjoying a renewed uplift in bookings. The business wanted to update the fleet of vehicles, machines and have some working capital left over. A requirement of €100,000 was identified. When they spoke with us, they had already engaged with their bank. They found the requests for reams of documents too much to deal with; especially business plans and detailed financial modelling when their accountant was so busy with pandemic issues and filing deadlines. They were looking at alternative finance options that were faster.

BusinessLoans.ie identifed a loan quote under the Covid-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme with a non-bank lender. Our client was happy to only have to provide minimal documentation such as recent accounts, bank statements and a tax clearance certificate. They were approved & funded in days at a low rate and didn’t have to worry about a personal guarantee or early repayment penalty. Does your business want a fast finance quote? Get in touch today.

Recent deal: A pizza franchisee & a slice of working capital

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. It was a pizza chain franchisee that wasn’t trading so long. They didn’t have a set of accounts filed with the Companies Registration Office yet and this ruled out most debt financing options. Their bank was unable to help.

BusinessLoans.ie identified a fast finance quote based on their significant card machine turnover. Our lending partner provided a merchant cash advance of €25,000 with a flexible repayment that fits with their cash flow cycle. The client got their working capital and they were happy.

Recent deal: A plant hire company buys older machinery with unsecured Covid loan

BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating another successful deal. Our client was a plant hire company who was used to getting machines with asset finance. They found it easier for approval because hire purchase enables the asset finance company to take away the machine if they fail to pay. However, asset finance companies are generally only interested in financing assets that are not too old. Our client wanted an older machine that was still in great condition and asked us for help.

Their business had been affected by the pandemic. Turnover was down after the series of lockdowns affecting the construction industry. We organised an unsecured loan quote, at a great rate and without a personal guarantee under the Covid-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme. They got their €80,000 for their machine in days and they were happy. Does your business need a loan? For fast finance quotes, email us at hello@businessloans.ie or call 01 55 636 55.
