What it is

Understanding growth & expansion funding.

We take time to understand the plan behind the funding before considering which providers may be relevant.

Amworth is an introducer, not a lender. Nothing on this page is advice, an offer, or an indication that finance will be available to your business.

Real businesses, real timing, real trading patterns.

Decision map

Whether it fits, and how it can be built.

General indicators only. Providers set their own criteria and reach their own decisions.

This may be worth exploring if…

  • There is a plan behind the funding, not just a shortfall
  • The business can evidence how the investment supports repayment
  • You want to consider more than one structure before deciding

Common structures within the category

  1. 01

    Term loan for growth

    A defined amount repaid over a set period, matched to the investment horizon.

  2. 02

    Acquisition finance

    Funding structured around the target business, often with security over both entities.

  3. 03

    Blended structures

    Some plans are funded through a combination of routes — for example a term loan alongside asset finance.

The provider’s perspective

What a provider wants to understand before deciding.

  • Purpose of the funding and how it supports the business
  • Trading history and turnover
  • Profitability and repayment capacity
  • Existing borrowing and commitments
  • Credit profile of the business and its directors
  • Any security available, including personal guarantees
  • The credibility of the growth plan and its assumptions
  • Forecasts and how they were prepared

Costs vary by provider, product, amount, term and the risk presented. We do not quote rates on this website because pricing is set by the provider following their own assessment. Some facilities are unsecured; others require security over an asset, a debenture, or a personal guarantee. Any costs, fees and security requirements are set out by the provider in writing before you commit.

Documents worth having to hand

  • Three to six months of business bank statements
  • A short summary of what the funding is for
  • Details of existing finance agreements
  • A short business plan or written summary of the growth plan
  • Financial forecasts, with assumptions stated

Nothing here is mandatory before you contact us — it simply makes the first conversation more productive.
