Commercial Mortgages

Cash flow problems within your business can be solved by looking at several solutions.

Some of those solutions for cash flow problems are financial solutions and involve borrowing money or restructuring existing facilities. The others are operational changes in terms of how you operate your business. Let’s look at each of them briefly:

Working capital facilities

You could look at an overdraft, invoice discounting or factoring facility. If one of these is already in place you could look to restructure to ensure the maximum amount of cash is generated for the minimum cost. Smart factoring Quotes can assist with this. call 0845 863 0738

Asset Refinance

If you have any assets within the business you can look at refinancing these assets. This will mean an injection of cash however it can prove costly in terms of interest costs and you should consider the cash flow implications of the monthly repayments. If you already have asset finance facilities in place it may be worth refinancing to reduce the monthly repayments. Funding Solutions are a good port of call for this.

Remortgage

If you have a mortgage or an unencumbered property you could look to refinance this to raise money or reduce the monthly repayments. Again Funding Solutions UK Ltd are a good port of call.

Collect in money owed

If you have a debtor book it is important to ensure that debts are collected in on a timely basis. Your credit control skills could vastly improve your cashflow. Can you offer a settlement discount to get paid quicker?

Supplier Terms

Can you negotiate better terms from your existing suppliers or can you approach alternative suppliers with a view to obtaining extended terms?

Cost Cutting

Can you cut costs within the business by cutting out unnecessary services, insurances, staff members? You may need to make some tough decisions but you have to protect your business.

 

Funding Solutions is a business finance brokerage founded by Ian Hepworth and Mark Endersby.

It was founded with the view of offering impartial and independent advice to businesses in 3 main areas:- commercial mortgages, asset finance and invoice finance.

Mark Endersby is a ACCA qualified chartered accountant who qualified with Arthur Andersens and then set out as an entrepeneur. Ian Hepworth has a background in banking, asset finance and invoice finance and also has a masters degree in International Banking and Finance.

The last three years have proved challenging and the issues Funding Solutions have faced are no different to the well publicised challenges the business arena at large have faced. The banks simply stopped lending and many commerciial mortgage companies and asset finance companies simply withdrew from the market. As such lending opportunities were limited.

However, Funding Solutions has managed to deliver funding to hundreds of satisfied clients over the last 3 years. Having developed a real specialism in invoice finance they maintain focus on this area.

In 2011 Funding Solutions have seen a return to enquiries and lending solutions for both asset finance and commercial mortgages which is surely a good sign of things to come.
