Here are just some of our solutions:

Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS / FFL)

The National Loan Guarantee Scheme was launched in March 2012 and again, this was aimed at improving lending to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) however, from the 1^st August 2012, this was rescinded by the Government and a new Scheme introduced.

On the 1^st August, the Government announced the introduction of the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) which will not only increase the amount of capital available to SMEs, it will also provide funding to the mortgage market for first-time-buyers, as well as second time homeowners

Unsecured Business Loans

Unsecured Business Loans for any purpose are now available.

From £25,000 to £350,000

Our Unsecured Business Loans are 100% independent of your other business banking, giving you the discretion and flexibility you need to run your business effectively.

Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme

Government Supported Lending to £1m

The Enterprise Finance Guarantee has replaced the Small Firms Loan Guarantee.

This scheme will provide a guarantee for up to 75 per cent of the bank’s lending in return for a small premium. The minimum loan amount is £1000 and the maximum is £1 million.

Cashflow Solutions:

A full order book doesn’t always add up to cash in the bank. So if you need more working capital, we can help.

Our invoice finance partners unlock the cash tied up in your unpaid invoices – so you get fast access to the funds you need to grow your business.

Purchasing leasehold / freehold commercial businesses / premises

Sometimes it is essential to act quickly to complete a business acquisition, particularly when retail premises are involved. The Aftersales Network has access to specialist lending in this field and can advise accordingly.

Bridging finance.

Bridging is a short term loan that can be used for a wide range of purposes where a standard mortgage is not immediately the most suitable option. The Aftersales Network offers a ‘High Speed Bridging’ solution which means that completions can often be done within just a week or two!

Examples for using Bridging Finance include:

Capital Raising
Funding development or refurbishment projects of property not immediately ready for letting.
Credit repair, including avoiding repossession while waiting for a property to sell.
Buying a property below market value and minimising deposits.
Tax Liabilities / Payment of Inheritance Tax

The Aftersales Network has an extensive range of bridging finance solutions.
