We helped a family-run hay and straw business secure a £250,000 short-term loan, enabling fast growth and plans for future investment.
With big digital shifts on the horizon, from Windows 10 support ending to the move to VoIP, businesses are investing in technology to stay ahead, while also managing the financial realities of rapid change.
Most business owners told us their top priority this year is growth (37%), but nearly as many said cashflow stability (34%) is their biggest focus, highlighting the tension between ambition and financial reality. With the right funding solutions, businesses can ease cashflow pressure and move forward with confidence to achieve their goals.
When we asked our customers about their outlook for the year ahead, 51% said they feel steady, 40% more confident, and only 1% less confident. A strong sign of resilience despite ongoing pressures. Combined with wider market growth in asset finance, it’s clear that businesses are continuing to adapt, invest, and build momentum for the future.
