BUSINESS FINANCE
Finance built around what the business needs to do next.
Funding for acquisition, working capital, equipment or a strategic change starts with purpose and repayment capacity.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED EARLY
The questions worth asking first.
Can I obtain finance without property security?
Unsecured business facilities may be available in some circumstances. Amount, term and pricing depend on the business and lender criteria.
Will a forecast be enough?
A forecast may support the request, but lenders generally also consider historical results, current trading, liabilities and the people behind the business.
Can finance be used to buy a business?
Acquisition finance may be possible. The target business, buyer experience, contribution, valuation and transaction structure all need assessment.
Can a lender fund goodwill or lend without property security?
Some transactions may support goodwill or non-property security, but the available amount depends on business cash flow, industry, buyer experience, transaction structure and lender risk appetite.
Will the lender ask for a personal guarantee?
Personal guarantees are common in business lending, but requirements vary. The proposed guarantees and security should be understood before accepting an offer and reviewed with a qualified legal adviser.
YOUR DECISION, CLEARLY FRAMED
What matters before the application.
A clear business-finance request explains how much is needed, what the funds will do, when the benefit is expected and how the facility will be repaid.
WORKING WITH JIMMY
What the first conversation is like.
Can I talk before I am ready to apply?
Yes. You can start with questions, an early borrowing conversation or incomplete documents. The first step is to understand where you are now and what would make the next decision clearer.
Will my details be sent to a lender straight away?
No application is lodged without your agreement. Jimmy first reviews the situation, identifies missing information and explains the proposed pathway before you decide whether to proceed.
Will I deal directly with Jimmy?
Yes. You speak directly with Jimmy about the lending strategy, application questions and progress rather than being passed between a sales team and a call centre.
What will the service cost?
Any fee payable by you and any lender-paid commission arrangements will be explained before you proceed. Fees can differ for residential, commercial, business, development and specialist work, so the applicable terms need to be confirmed for your matter.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on the lender, valuation, document quality and complexity of the transaction. Once the pathway is clearer, Jimmy can explain the current requirements, likely sequence and any deadline risk that needs attention.
HOW JIMMY CAN HELP
A practical path from question to next step.
Turn the business objective into a defined funding requirement.

WHAT TO PREPARE
A useful first conversation starts with a few facts.

- Recent financial statements and tax returns
- Current management figures and cash-flow forecast
- Existing debts, security and ownership details
Please do not send identity or financial documents through the website enquiry form.
