Investor opportunities
Turnaround Business Angel Network
McTear Williams & Wood run the Turnaround Business Angel Network (T-BAN) in East Anglia to give hope to failing businesses. Typically these businesses have a turnover between £1m and £10m with a funding requirement between £25,000 and £500,000. Having exhausted traditional means of funding they are either insolvent or likely to become insolvent in the very near future. Decisions need to be taken quickly in failing businesses and potential investors matched with those businesses as a matter of urgency. They are not looking for money to launch products or support development but need funds in order to survive, as well as significant input to help restructure the organisation and its business practices.
Businesses appropriate for T-BAN's involvement are those that are likely to be profitable soon after they are restructured and offer a fair return for the investor.
T-BAN provides an opportunity for businesses in financial difficulty to be made profitable and for investors to use their skills and experience in situations with elements of manageable and quantifiable risk.

Short term interim funding
Working closely with a specialist agent we have access to a sizeable fund for short term (usually up to six months) funding. Only funding opportunities in excess of £25,000 are considered.
Short term interim funding is defined as the provision of cash/funds/bond to a third party backed by assets. The cash/funds/bond are made available to the third party by way of a secured loan or upon transfer of ownership by an invoice and delivery, usually with a hire and “buy back” option. The loan or buy back is repaid within an agreed period of time incorporating interest payments and/or arrangement fees, although these may be rolled into a single final payment.
Typical uses of this facility:
- For the provision of short term cash injection into a business in a time of poor trading but with a prospect of repayment following financial restructuring
- Bankruptcy annulment
- Bridging finance in various scenarios
- To avoid excessive redemption terms with factoring and finance companies pending financial or corporate restructuring
- To allow directors to appoint their choice of Insolvency Practitioner over a bank or factor company’s choice
The terms of lending are flexible and are likely to vary according to each project. Decision making can be made in 48 hours of introduction and drawn down 24 hours thereafter.
We see this as another tool in our business rescue kit when considering if a rescue is possible.
