Getting funding as a startup isn’t always easy.

Many new businesses have the vision, the pipeline, and the growth potential to move forward, but without an established trading history, traditional lenders can still say no. That can leave startups facing a funding gap at the exact moment they need it most.

We look at the reasons for this and the other finance options available to new businesses looking to grow.

Every startup business reaches a point where it needs funding to grow, but securing it can be difficult without an established trading history leaving many startups facing a funding gap just as they are ready to invest and move forward.

Thought the Growth Guarantee Scheme wasn’t right for your business last year? It could be worth another look.

Since launch, the scheme has changed significantly and now could be the right time to take advantage of the government assistance.

If you looked at the Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS) a year ago and decided it was not the right fit for your business, it may be time to take another look. Since launch, the scheme has changed significantly, and the government has now announced its biggest expansion to date.

Will your next VAT bill put pressure on cash flow?

With HMRC now charging separate penalties for late filing and late payment, costs can add up fast. Planning ahead could help you avoid extra charges and keep cash flow on track before the deadline hits.

Business finance question:
Would you rather have:

£100,000 sitting in the bank today
or
£1 million in confirmed orders ready to be fulfilled?

It is easy to see why the cash might feel like the safer choice at first. But confirmed orders can be just as exciting — they are a clear sign that demand is there, confidence is growing, and your business has real momentum behind it.

Of course, the key is making sure you have the right support in place to deliver. Whether that means funding equipment, vehicles, stock, or day-to-day operations, having access to the right finance can help you keep things moving without putting extra strain on cash flow.

So, which would you choose — immediate cash or strong order books with growth potential?

Worried about missing a VAT deadline or not having the cash ready when the bill lands?

You’re not alone. Our latest blog explains how HMRC’s VAT penalty system works, where SMEs can get caught out, and how a VAT loan could help you stay on top of both filing and payment.

If filing a VAT return on time or finding the cash to pay the bill has ever felt like a last-minute scramble, you’re far from alone. Here's what SME owners need to know, with real examples, and a look at how a VAT loan can help you avoid both sides of the penalty.
