Running a business in London often means juggling cash flow — especially with rising costs and seasonal fluctuations.
A working capital loan gives SMEs quick access to £50k–£500k to cover payroll, supplier invoices, or temporary dips in revenue.
Example: A Shoreditch café used a £75k working capital loan to stay stocked during peak season and cover short-term costs while waiting on supplier payments.

Growth takes investment, and an expansion loan helps SMEs scale faster.
Whether you’re opening a new location in Canary Wharf, adding staff, or upgrading your space, these loans provide flexible repayment options matched to your turnover.
Example: A Croydon logistics firm used a £250k expansion loan to open a new depot, doubling capacity and creating 12 local jobs.

Outdated equipment can slow operations and reduce efficiency.
With equipment financing, London businesses can spread the cost of upgrading machinery, vehicles, or technology without straining cash flow.
Example: A Southwark restaurant secured £100k in equipment finance to upgrade its kitchen and increase capacity by 35%.

Unpaid invoices shouldn’t hold your business back.
Invoice factoring lets you unlock cash tied up in receivables, giving you immediate liquidity to reinvest in growth.
Example: A Hackney creative agency factored £80k in invoices to fund a new project and expand their client base.

If your next step involves buying or refinancing business premises, commercial property loans make it possible.
Funding Freddie connects you with FCA-authorised lenders offering £50k–£500k+ for purchases or refinancing.
Example: A Stratford retailer used a £200k property loan to purchase a second shop, growing monthly revenue by 25%.

Freddie’s role is to give SMEs confidence — because when small businesses grow, communities thrive. That’s why we’re trusted for secure business finance across the UK.

London’s economy thrives on small and mid-sized businesses, but access to funding hasn’t kept pace with demand. Banks remain slow and selective, leaving many growth-ready companies without support.
Funding Freddie bridges that gap by working directly with FCA-authorised lenders who understand London’s business landscape, from Shoreditch startups to Croydon logistics firms. We make funding fast, transparent, and accessible — without the red tape.
