We recently asked our customers an important question:
“If there was one thing you wanted to achieve with your business this year, what would it be?”
Here’s how they answered:
- 37% – Expand & Grow
- 34% – Cashflow stability
- 9% – Increase headcount
- 6% – Diversification
- 14% – Other goals
Growth ambitions are strong
It’s clear that growth is at the heart of most business owners’ ambitions this year, with more than a third telling us that expansion is their top priority. Whether that’s entering new markets, investing in new equipment, or increasing capacity, businesses are looking ahead with optimism.
But cashflow remains a barrier
Right behind growth, however, came cashflow stability, with over a third of businesses who filled in the survey telling us that this is their main focus. This highlights a key reality: many businesses want to grow, but the ability to manage day-to-day cashflow can make or break those plans.
Without steady cashflow, even the best growth opportunities can be hard to act on. That’s why having the right finance in place is so important.
How finance can help
We offer a wide range of cashflow solutions designed to give businesses the flexibility and stability they need, including:
- Invoice finance – unlocking cash tied up in unpaid invoices
- VAT & Corporation Tax loans – spreading the cost of tax bills to ease pressure
- Commercial loans – providing capital to fund investment and expansion
These solutions can create breathing space, ease pressure points, and provide the working capital businesses need to not just survive, but to move forward with confidence.
Partnering for success
We know that every business is unique, which is why we take the time to understand your objectives and challenges. Whether your goal is stability, growth, or both, we’d relish the opportunity to talk about your plans and explore how we can help you achieve them.
Together, we’re doing more for business

Combined with wider market growth in asset finance, it’s clear that businesses are continuing to adapt, invest, and build momentum for the future.
Cashflow, rising costs, and skills shortages are hitting businesses hard. With the right finance, these pressures can become opportunities, supporting stability, efficiency, and growth.
