The ambition

A Midlands scaffolding company needed to scale up fast to tender for a large commercial project, but working capital was already tied up in ongoing contracts.

How the finance was structured

Sourced an unsecured £30,000 loan over 6 months, interest-only for the first three months, to fund additional scaffolding kits and equipment with no property or asset security needed.

What it made possible

The client won a contract worth over £300,000 and saw a 20% rise in monthly revenue over the term. The loan was repaid in full on time with zero impact on day-to-day cash flow.

  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.

Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
