Alternative Business Funding

Informations générales

At alternativebusinessfunding.co.uk we provide a free and easy way for SMEs to find non-bank finance for their business.

We are focused on making it simple for time-constrained business-owners to find the right funder to contact, with only a few simple questions and no personal contact information required to use our online service.

The unique collaboration brings together the market-leaders for the main forms of alternative business funding for SME finance, so all types of funding from short to long-term loans / debt / equity or self-investing are covered. Initial funding associates cover over 70% of the alternative business funding market in equity crowd funding, invoice trading, peer-to-peer, pension-led funding, angel investing and business cash advance, with more to join the collaboration in the future.

More than just a web portal, alternativebusinessfunding.co.uk is the start of a campaign to create a more collaborative environment for business funding aimed at simplifying SME owners’ search for finance to help support their businesses and also a place for the major banks to redirect customers.

We aim to:
- Refer our own unsuccessful applicants directly to the site
- Lobby the Government to introduce “signposting” for any unsuccessful bank applicant
- Use our resources and expertise to raise awareness of different forms of alternative business funding
- Work with business organisations, such as the CBI, FSB and CDFA, to promote alternative finance options to their members.

Visit alternativebusinessfunding.co.uk and follow the simple, 4 step process to access funding:

1) Enter the amount of funding you require.
2) After each question you will see the lights change dependent on which funder suits your criteria.
3) At the final question click on any green (or amber) traffic lights for your preferred funder details.
4) All that is left now is for you to approach your funder of choice about sourcing SME finance.
