Client Successes

Business Debt Consolidation

A specialist utility contractor with £1.6m turnover came to Funding Pool to consolidate costly short-term debt. Their bank couldn’t help – but we could.

We delivered a tailored unsecured loan within two weeks, reducing their monthly repayments by over £30,000. That freed up cash for equipment investment and improved financial control.

They valued our clear advice, simple process, and minimal paperwork – and returned five months later for additional funding to fuel further growth.

Reduced Monthly Payments by £30k

Enabled New Equipment Purchase

Funding Received in Days

Funding Business Growth

A long-established coach and bus operator with 37 vehicles and £4m turnover turned to Funding Pool after winning a £1m contract. They needed fast, flexible funding to lease vehicles and onboard staff – without disrupting cash flow.

Following a Funding Pool email, they chose us for our proactive approach and business understanding.

The result? A smooth ramp-up, on-time contract delivery, and a stronger foundation for future growth. They’ve since returned for additional funding – cementing a trusted partnership.

FAQs

We offer a wide range of funding options for small and medium-sized businesses, including business loans, asset finance, invoice finance, and merchant cash advances.

The amount of funding you can receive depends on several factors, including your business’s financials, creditworthiness, and the type of funding you are seeking. Some types of funding are based on your accounts receivable and can provide funding based on a percentage of the value of those invoices. Other types of funding, such as term loans, may have specific minimum and maximum amounts.

We can offer loans ranging from £5,000 up to £1m.

The loan term can vary depending on the type of funding you choose. We offer flexible loan terms typically ranging from 1 month up to 5 years but if you’re looking for something longer we still may be able to help.

In some circumstances, you could receive your funds within 24 hours. We understand the importance of timely funding for your business needs, so once we have the necessary information and documents, we will work as quickly as possible to find the best funding options available. Typically, funding can be received within a few days, depending on the lender and the type of funding you are applying for.

The interest rates will vary depending on the type of funding you choose and your individual circumstances.

The funding process can vary depending on the type of funding you choose and the requirements of the lender. However, we aim to provide a quick and efficient service, and some loans can be approved and funded within 24 hours.

The specific documents required for funding will vary depending on the lender and the type of funding you are seeking. Generally, you will need to provide financial statements, bank statements, tax returns, and any other documentation related to your business’s financials. Our team will work with you to determine which documents are needed for your specific funding needs.

Collateral requirements vary depending on the lender and the type of funding you are seeking. Some types of funding, such as equipment financing, may require the equipment itself to be used as collateral. Other types of funding, such as unsecured business loans, do not require collateral.

We do not charge any upfront fees for our services. We receive a commission from the lender if your application is successful.

In most cases, yes, you can pay off your funding early. This can save you money on interest. However, you should check with your lender to confirm if any prepayment penalties or fees apply.

You can check your eligibility by completing our online form. We will then review your information and let you know if you are eligible for funding.

While having good credit can certainly improve your chances of receiving funding, it is not always necessary. There are lenders who specialise in working with businesses with less-than-perfect credit. Additionally, some types of funding are based more on the creditworthiness of your customers than your own credit score.

Yes, it is possible to apply for funding even if you have an existing loan. However, the specific terms and conditions of the new funding may be affected by the existing loan.

Yes, it is possible to receive funding from multiple lenders. However, you will need to disclose any existing loans when applying for funding.
