Any institution that is serious about providing your business with the capital you need to return to profitability and get back on course will also require substantial documented evidence of both your current situation and your business plan. It’s not enough to simply rely on your credit rating or past performance to secure finance.
What type of funding?
From traditional forms of asset backed lending including invoice discounting through to more modern systems of finance such as crowd-funding, how can you decied on the optimimum way to generate the money you need?
