  • The Business Finance Podcast - Episode 8 - Construction Special - What opportunities does the 2024 Budget bring to UK Construction Companies?
    2024/11/15

    Hello!

    In this episode we focus on Construction and the business opportunities available to the industry after the recent budget announcement.

    We discuss the various themes such as:

    Infrastructure investment and associated projects

    Affordable Housing

    Green and Sustainable Building Projects

    Workforce Development

    This should be of interest to companies that specialise in specific sectors like road and rail construction, energy efficiency retrofitting and public sector infrastructure.

    We discuss why construction companies should be closely monitoring tenders and funding announcements and why you should start looking early at how you can use business finance to fund these contracts.

    The push towards regional development and sustainability presents avenues for innovation and long term growth for construction firms in the UK.

    Thank you for joining us, please contact us if you would like to discuss your business finance options.

  • The Best Business Podcast Episode 6
    2024/11/04

    In this episode we look at the various Tax Loans that can be used by UK Businesses.

    We cover Corporation Tax Loans, VAT Loans and Self Assessment Loans.

    These bills can occasionally fall at a bad time and it can be a huge help for businesses to be able to have these tax bills paid off in advance and the repayments spread over up to 12 months.

    We look at a case study where we provided a Corporation Tax Loan for a Healthcare Business and dig deeper into each loan and the process involved in getting these facilities set up.

    Please contact us if you need help paying your tax bills, or if you would like to discuss any aspect of business finance.

  • The Best Business Podcast Episode 5
    2024/10/26

    In this episode we analyse the balance sheet of a growing UK haulage company.

    We look at the following figures to see where there may be some financial challenges and the potential solutions:

    Is the growing trade debtor amount going to start putting a squeeze on the companies cashflow?

    Are they self funding? If so we look at the potential risks and whether the company has a credit insurance/bad debt protection policy in place to protect their revenue?

    We look at the Fixed Assets and discuss if they are paying cash or using Asset Finance. If they are using Asset finance, are they doing a whole of market search each time, or just going with the same lender due to time constraints?

    Finally we look at some working capital products that may be relevant, including Invoice Finance, Revolving Credit Facilities, Corporation Tax Loans and VAT Loans.

    We hope you enjoy it, please let us know if we can be of any help or if you have any questions you would like answered on a future episode.
