At Funding Freddie, we’re proud to have helped businesses across the UK secure the funding they need to grow, hire, and thrive. Here are some of the stories from SMEs who trusted Freddie to guide them through the funding process.


When a logistics firm in Birmingham won a new contract, they needed to scale operations quickly. Banks quoted long wait times and strict criteria — time they didn’t have.
Through Funding Freddie, they secured £250,000 in expansion funding within 3 days, allowing them to open a new distribution hub and hire 12 additional staff.
“We couldn’t believe how fast the process was. Freddie made it simple, and the lenders competed for our business. We’ll definitely use them again as we continue to grow.”



A family-run café in East London needed extra cash flow to renovate and expand seating capacity. Traditional banks rejected them due to limited trading history.
Freddie connected them with multiple lenders, and within days they were approved for a £50,000 working capital loan.
“Freddie gave us confidence when we felt stuck. One quick form, and suddenly we had multiple options. The funding has completely transformed our café.”


Late payments from clients were holding back a Manchester design agency. They had projects ready to deliver but no cash flow to pay freelancers.
Using invoice factoring via Freddie’s partners, they unlocked £75,000 tied up in invoices, keeping their projects on track and their team paid.
“Without Freddie, we’d have had to turn down client work. Invoice factoring gave us breathing space, and the process was seamless.”



A growing restaurant group in Leeds needed modern kitchen equipment to handle rising demand. Buying outright would have drained their reserves.
Through Freddie, they secured £50,000 in equipment financing, spreading payments over 3 years. The upgrade boosted efficiency and increased output by 40%.
“The new equipment has changed everything for us. Freddie made sure we got the right finance without the stress. We recommend them to any business owner.”
Across the UK, Freddie has helped SMEs in:

Whether you’re running a shop in Birmingham, a logistics company in Manchester, or a tech startup in London, Freddie’s process is the same: fast, flexible funding that puts SMEs first.
Funding Freddie is not a lender. We act as an introducer, connecting SMEs with a panel of carefully selected FCA-authorised lenders. All loan agreements are made directly between the applicant and the lender.
