Cash Flow Loan

As a business owner, you’ll know that it’s an ongoing process to maintain a healthy cash flow. While there are strategies you can implement, cash reserves are regularly impacted by factors beyond your control.

For SMEs tackling late payments, rising overheads, and unexpected tax bills, working capital may need to be sourced externally. Traditional lenders can seem an attractive option, but their strict eligibility criteria can make it difficult for small businesses. In such cases, alternative financing can provide businesses with the perfect solution.

As a digital lender, Fleximize offers flexible cash flow loans that can be tailored to suit the needs of you and your business. Read on to find out more about our loans, what they can be used for and how to apply.

What is a business cash flow loan?

If your business struggles with late payments, cash flow finance can provide the working capital you need to grow until customers’ funds are transferred. There’s only so much you can do to ensure you get paid on time. Sometimes this can leave you short of cash when you need to purchase stock, repair vital machinery, or settle your own creditor accounts.

A bank overdraft may provide a helpful buffer in the short term. However, it can only offer funds up to a set amount which may not cover the combined value of your late payments. Moreover, going overdrawn is extremely expensive due to the hefty interest rates, and arranging a facility with a bank can be very time-consuming. That won’t suit you if your business needs a fast, affordable solution – such as a cash flow loan from Fleximize.

Check your eligibility before financing your cash flow

At Fleximize, we know approaching traditional lenders can be tricky, especially if your accounts show irregularities in revenue. Our flexible lending criteria means that even if other lenders haven't approved your business, we may be able to provide the funding you need. Business owners can apply for Fleximize's cash flow loans if:

We want to approve as many applications as we can. Even if your credit score could be improved, your application won’t be automatically dismissed. All our lending decisions are made by real people who will get to know your business before recommending the best outcome for you.

How our cash flow financing has helped others

Aligning business expansion and financial stability was a balancing act that Ross Carlin, founder and MD of The Good Food Group, knows well. The Good Food Group was established in 2018 to help undiscovered brands break into competitive markets. It became official supplier to twelve major retailers including Morrisons, Superdrug, and Selfridges. He later found himself in a difficult position when his bank declined a cash advance. Fleximize provided the speedy funding package that Ross required to bridge the cash flow gap. After receiving a loan offer of £25,000, he was able to access the funds without delay.
