Whether you're starting a business, growing an existing one, replacing equipment, managing cash flow or looking for funding, we're here to help you understand your options.
Military family life can bring circumstances that aren't always typical for other business owners:
We understand that your business may need to work around military life.
Maybe you've turned a hobby, skill or idea into something you want to build a business from.
You have customers, and want to take the next step.
You need an asset to operate or grow your business.
Your income doesn't always arrive when your expenses do,
A relocation may mean changing premises, or adapting your business.
Releases the cash tied up in unpaid invoices, growing in line with your sales.
These are just a few of the types of funding we can offer.
You don't need to know what type of finance you need, that's our role. But if you want to find out more about 'How it works' or use our Finance Finder, you can.
Sometimes you just want to have a real conversation, with a real person.

Moving house doesn't necessarily mean starting your business again.
We can help you explore finance options for adapting, relocating or growing your business.
Running the business around periods when you're effectively managing the household alone can create additional pressures.
Cash-flow planning and having appropriate financial facilities in place can help provide flexibility.
If your circumstances involve overseas postings or customers, there may be relevant trade/export finance options.
Maybe you are:
A self-employed professional
Consultant, therapist, designer, photographer, accountant etc.
Running an online business
Meaning you can potentially operate from different locations.
Building a side business
Something that started alongside employment or family life.
Running a rural/equestrian business
A particularly relevant example for some military families.
Returning to business after a break
Perhaps following relocation, children or a period overseas.
Growing a family business
Where your partner is also involved.
Every application is different.
Things such as trading history, turnover, credit history, affordability, security and the purpose of the funding can all influence what options are available.
We'll help you understand your position before you apply.
No - We are here to support military spouses and partners on their funding journey too.
No - Your partner does not need to be involved in your business. You are the individual/business taking on the arrangement, and we are interested in you and your situation.
Lenders assess applications on their own criteria and individual circumstances.
As long as you have proof of your address changes, and can evidence the reasoning, there would be no reason for this to affect your application.
Yes, all applications, no matter the funding will need a business plan. You can find out how to create one here
